New HEROClix Rules
Why are the New Rules Important?
The new rules make it easier for new players to learn how to play HeroClix!
- New keywords
- Consistent templating
- Concise key phrases to ease understanding
- Clarification to remove edge cases
- More Instructional and easy-to-learn-and-play videos planned (see examples below)
This is great for new player acquisition… The new rules have also been streamlined for existing players, bringing about change that veteran players have been longing for.
What Does this Mean for Previously Released Figures?
Please note that all previous figures are compatible with the new, modern rules.
New Power and Abilities Card
In addition to the new rules postings today, we also made the 2017 Powers and Abilities Card (PAC) available online as well! Curious about what the key changes are with the new PAC? The fine folks at Tabletop Teacher have made a thorough video outlining these changes.
When do the new rules go into effect?
The new rules go into effect with the launch of the Marvel HeroClix: The Mighty Thor set.
