I had no intention of buying this game. I love the X-Men and really want to see them in Champions, but this one did not seem that exciting from the box. Watching your play through, it looks more interesting than I imagined. Think I'm going to give it a shot. Really enjoying your videos. Keep them coming.

Thanks for running through a different scenario, since most videos so far are of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants one. I'm surprised how poorly this game scales. The higher player counts seem so much more interesting and fun. Elder Sign came out 10 years ago, and works fine at low player counts.

@DaletheCasualGamer 3 жыл бұрын

@David Ko You are welcome, and thanks for watching! 3 or more is where this game will shine, but glad to have the option for 2 characters but comparing to Elder Sign, I would recommend it for 1 to 2 characters.

There needs to be some clarifications on how assist cards work with 3 heroes at a location I'm wondering if the same assist card can be used multiple times by the different heroes

@DaletheCasualGamer 3 жыл бұрын

Assist cards are giving to other heroes once they go to the location. So each hero can only have one, but all can swap with others at the same place. Hope that makes sense. :)

Hey Dale - thanks for all the great content. I am playing the game right now but have run into a basic problem. I am assisting wolverine with colossus but that gives wolverine 5 red die. The box only comes with 4!!!!! What am I supposed to do? Do you know?

@DaletheCasualGamer 3 жыл бұрын

@Mads Dalager I think that's the only combo that has that issue, and I haven't seen an official FAQ. For me, I'd roll the 4 dice, find a way to mark one of the dice, and then re-roll one of them again. That could get confusing with multiple re-rolls. Some other options people are using is just take a training token, or choose another die to roll. Good luck with the Fastball Special! :)

I was gonna get this but game reviewers have savaged it. Also this game is really weird lol. What a odd rule system but I also ended up selling Elder Sign after a year or so

@DaletheCasualGamer 3 жыл бұрын

I noticed that too. I also noticed most played it solo, which is not the optimal way to play. I enjoy it “ok” solo, but did have a lot of fun within my play group playing it 3, 4 and 5 player. If you play mainly solo, I would recommend Elder Sign over this, but if you plan to play 3 or more players and you’re X-men fans who like rolling dice, I’d recommend this game.
