Got it appreciate you watching!! So much fun!

Haha!! That is such a good point I just loved the cards in my hand hehehe!! Thank you so much for watching!!

Same! It hurt me to see him discard Nick 🤣

@moo2k4 haha! Well sorry about that!!

🤣

Whoot whoot!!!

Advance can be so brutal!!! That is awesome thank you for watching!!

Thanks so much and more to come!!

Thanks so much!! Appreciate you watching and hopefully it makes your workout go quick!!

So good! I love that ally! Thanks so much for watching!!

Hehehe!!! Heck yes!! My wife died not because of paying for cards with cards!

Yes!!!!! It has been confirmed you do not need to exhaust when using a defense card. But it does mean you do not get the benefit of your shields on your character. With shield block though that's fine!

Thanks so much!! Yeah the card play is just so much fun. Really appreciate you watching!

No problem at all thank you for watching!!! Really enjoying this game!

Fun to showcase it here!

Heck yes!! Thank you so much for watching!!

He's just so fun!! Thanks so much for watching!!

Thanks so much for watching over here as well!! So I fell off the bandwagon on Imperium. . I played the Horizon's with the trade route and it just felt like an utter slog. . so I moved it along. I am sorry, it is a great game just felt like I could play more enjoyable games for me in much less time!

@@MeetMeAtTheTable Ah, that's a pity, but I have heard that criticism from others as well. I guess I'll have to start watching all of your other videos instead!

@ybhandari I am sorry I know Mike did a play of it!! Thanks so much for checking out the other videos!!

I do believe you can redirect that damage to a ally, but I could be wrong. This is how I've seen others handle it but really I do not know! Whenever you are attacked during the enemy phase you can choose who gets attacked so it think it's the same here. Direct damage is where you can't decide

Also, I believe defense events will also trigger his Retaliate.

You are right on both accounts! I have a subtitle up on the retaliate! Thanks so much for watching!

I can totally see that! I do think that there is a place for the game if you are looking for a much quicker experience though. But I agree I like the deckbuilding on LOTR better for sure. Thanks so much for watching!!

Agreed I ended up selling my complete collection pre-xmen as I felt I was just going around in circles. Keeping lotr and AH though.

Totally get that!! Appreciate you watching!!

I can't remember but I am not sure I have a choice!

That is SO COOL!! Do you have a favorite hero or favorite boss? Just curious and thanks for watching!!

@@MeetMeAtTheTable favorite boss is a tough one because that one depends on what kind of difficulty you like. Kang was super cool and had one of the coolest mechanics out of any of the bosses. Ultron was another one of our favs to play. And then the Green Goblin scenarios were just so unique compared to most of them. Favorite hero is easy. Ironheart. Hands down my favorite character in the game. She's a slow build but when you get her to level 3 she's arguably the strongest hero in the game. I also really, really dig Ms. Marvel, Scarlet Witch, SP/DR, Storm and X-23. But there's so many good ones and most of them are fun.

I want to play Kang so bad!!! Thanks for the great idea for some fun heroes!!

I can totally see that! It's hard to get a good balance in these types of card games to ensure cards are not obsolete! Thanks so much for watching!!

@@MeetMeAtTheTable You're most welcome :) As for balance, the cards are well designed but the bosses just get SO powerful that many cards start to fall off. If you play against the earlier bosses you can use nearly any cards in a good deck successfully. The hard bosses put so much pressure on you that your back is against the wall every turn and it becomes very narrow decision-wise, there is little-to-no creativity left. Also, the worst part is that the games take longer and longer and feel like a chore. When I play a game like that I don't want to spend 2 hours on it for a single game, at that point I'd rather play a dungeon crawler.

@p0ck3tp3ar the length was my biggest complaint on this game before as well because you are actively trying not to advance the story. It felt like I was just stalling the game. I will say I like solo a lot because that does not seem to happen!

@@MeetMeAtTheTable Yes, the length is also frustrating because you need to do the same stuff every single game due to pressure. Once the designers changed the game completely went downhill. It lost it's casual yet challenging charm and became an exercise of optimization. If I have one complaint about combat in board games it's that it often boils down to a puzzle, and that makes the combat feel less realistic, slow, and drawn out. Lots of slow turns in which if you make the wrong move the game is over. Whereas a real fight is often very fast and brutal and full of emotion, occasionally but not usually a chess match. But I digress!

@@p0ck3tp3ar I get this sentiment. I've played I think all the bosses sans the most recent box. And some of them are tough and can take a long time. Most of my plays at this were at 3P and some of those games lasted upwards of 3 hours. I kind of disagree with the decision space thought though? I've played several different builds against some hard bosses fairly successfully. Even if some of the older cards are less relevant, there's still so much flexibility in the game with all the cards.
