As it stands only a few heroes and deck archetypes can compete on the higher difficulty because a lot of interesting cards require that you run a mono deck to be able to include them. I agree. What's worse is that the first pack with player cards will be a couple of months, assuming that they aren't delayed further in true FFG fashion. At least we should be fighting the Green Goblin in a few weeks.

Did the digital thing end up being any good? The early version seemed kind of inferior.

Heh, funny how that was applicable to the game that’s just come it as much as the one that’s been out for almost a year...PerniciousKnid posted:Did the digital thing end up being any good? The early version seemed kind of inferior. After getting used to it I actually liked it a lot. The thing is that you’d get the greatest returns from automating the complex interactions between cards, but as it stands the main deck archetypes are fairly simple, so you can’t really explore the design space creatively the same way you could in the tabletop game after a few expansions.

I bought the Switch version of LOTR last night. No touch screen supports, which sucks but is hardly a surprise. Text is smallish on handheld, but still perfectly readable for me. Controls work alright for a console. No crashes so far and performance seemed good. Hopefully they release new content at the same time as on PC ( so never.) Deckbuilding is probably going to be very painful on console controls, but an another portable card game is always nice to have. I will update, when I find the FFG design decisions of the port.

Details on upcoming Wrecking Crew Scenario Pack for Marvel Champions This scenario looks way different than the previous scenarios, and pretty cool. No modular aspect, but there are 4 enemy schemes in play, but only one villain attacks at once.

It doesn't even use the standard set, so in theory someone could pick up this and a hero pack and just play without a core set, subbing the tokens and grabbing the rulebook online.

Tried Marvel Champions and had a pretty good time. Aggression She-Hulk for a learner game, which didn't go terrifically but I like what the She-Hulk side seemed to be getting at and with a little editing and awareness of the game, I think I could put together something better now. The second game was Justice Spiderman which seems bonkers good for some consistent control and buying teammates time to get set-up. Overall really enjoyable though and interested in expanding the card pool to see how building options open up.

Marvel Champions is really good. There's a whole bunch more cards coming in January, and since the deckbuilding options aren't that extensive yet, it's a good time to experiment with different combinations. Right now you literally take your hero's card pool and shuffle it with almost all the cards from one color plus like one of each neutral and see what happens. It's surprisingly a fast game. It's much more streamlined than other LCGs, so there's been times I've literally just gotten bored and solo'd the Rhino encounter in about a half hour or less. My only complaint about the game is that I hate the "discard cards to pay for other cards" mechanic, especially if it's not expected you'll be reshuffling them into your deck or recurring them some other way. The unplayable double resource cards are good, but I don't like discarding two good cards to pay for one good card especially when there's an element of surprise in the encounter deck. Speaking of Arkham Horror, the April Fools joke just got made real.

Marvel Champions rules question: -Can I play support cards under another player's control? edit: no because text -Can I play upgrades under the control of another player's ally? I am assuming the answer is no because the text on Combat Training, an upgrade that says: "Play under any player's control. Max 1 per a player." However where is this rule that says no? edit: I am also assuming no because page 11 of the rules that say "If the card is an ally, upgrade, or support, it enters play ready in that player’s play area."

There's a recent thread on BGG about Inspired, and the consensus is that because the wording is just 'attach to an ally', it can be any player's ally, and that the specific instruction takes precedence over the general rule about cards entering play under your control.

Thor pack for Marvel Champions. Hero with a small handsize that tries to engage with as many enemies as possible. Also a teaser image for the next three heroes and the first big box expansion.  Thinking Kate Bishop and Dr. Strange for the first two? Not sure on third.

Yeah, but after Wrecking Crew it's going to be 5 months until we get the story box. Not sure how much I'm going to want to beat up Rhino and co again with another six heroes. It kind of reminds me of the Marvel Heroes videogame, where they just kept pumping out new superheroes to play through the same tired content.

FFG confirmed Cap, Ms.Marvel, and Green Goblin shipping in December for US release (I’m hoping this includes Canada). They’re wildly inconsistent with their release schedule but I’ll take it!

This came up in a game I just played. With the card lay waste - http://www.cardgamedb.com/index.php/agameofthrones2ndedition/a-game-of-thrones-2nd-edition-cards/_/dragons-of-the-east/lay-waste-r1408 It says to discard location or attachment. Then you can get a lower cost location or attachment. So if my opponent gets rid of a location, do I have to search for location, or can I then choose that I want an attachment instead?

Fritzler posted:Thor seems cool to me but I have no idea why his nemesis is Loki. Everyone else's nemesis seems to be a lesser known villain so their main villain can be a scenario pack. Loki would be a great scenario pack or hero pack. Alright, who would you have as Thor's nemesis if not Loki? The Enchantress is Loki with tits, when she's not just trying to cop off with Thor. Hela is a major scenario threat, not a constant foe. Surtur likewise.

Also with Loki you could make a villian pack with old loki and be fine. It's not like different instances of loki existing simultaneously hasnt happened before.

Fritzler posted:Yeah, my issue was due to the unique rules, and I'm re-reading them now. It says: "The players as a group are permitted to have only one copy of each unique card (by title) in play." Obviously the rules can change if a different pack is later released. However it does say go on to say " Because of this, a comparison of alter-egos and/or subtitles between two cards may create the following exceptions". As a Nemesis, Loki has no alter-ego or subtitle on the card in preview. I don't believe that a nemesis would be subject to the player uniqueness rules because the players wouldn't have the card in play, it's part of the villain deck.

I would also be easy to sidestep the rule by doing what MTG has been doing for ages, just add a title to the character's name. If Thor's nemesis is just plain "Loki", the villain version could be "Loki, God of Mischief" and no rules changes are needed. Sure it gets weird if you have both the nemesis and the villain in play, but at least in Loki's case it's easy to justify nemesis Loki just being an illusion/projection/magical clone or what have you.
