An oft-cited critique of tabletop games, particularly board games, is that tracking all of the necessary variables is an unneeded burden. But what if these moments were understood to be not only incredible opportunities for engagement but also a necessary component of the "tabletop game" category? This one goes deep.
Marvel: Crisis Protocol embraces the fundamental divider of a hobby miniatures game - highly detailed models that must be fully assembled and painted. We discuss whether or not the game has a shot at breaking through the "industry" bubble and reaching a level of ubiquity previously unattained by the likes of Warhammer: 40k.
Marvel Champions does a lot of things right, but its most important features may well be found in the nuts and bolts of packaging and distribution. We dive into that, using examples from past LCGs, and also spend a bit of time discussing the surprising number of design and deck building levers hidden in the system - because we can't help it.
