MARVEL Crisis Protocol

Here’s the basics. The miniatures game is set in the Marvel universe and all about superheroes and super villians duking it out on the tabletop.

• The miniatures are hard plastic on sprue.
• You will be able to mix and match teams of both heroes and villians to your heart’s desire.
• The in-game action will be epic, and comic-worthy. Examples given were the Hulk throwing buildings, or Red Skull bending reality.
• The in-game resource is “power” earned and spent by various actions as well as spent on unique abilities shown on the character cards.
• There are “Team Tactic Cards” allowing powerful combos.
• The core boxed set will contain 10 superheroes followed on quickly by individual character packs.
• Hero list construction is based around a selection of 10 characters per player, and missions are combined by selections by both players which merge into the final mission goals.
• Game ships in Fall 2019
• Monthly expansion pack(s)
• Organized play will include multiple length day events, and unique prize support.
• The game will have multiple modes of play and events from casual to competitive.

Atomic Mass Games

The BoLS team will be demoing Crisis Protocol shortly.  Atomic Mass looks like they are making all the right decisions with the game. Hard plastic, fantastic license, easy list construction, and multiple modes of play from casual all the way to competitive, with rapid fire releases upon launch and company backed organized play from day 1.  This one looks like it has legs… long super-powered legs!

~We will have much more on this new game and Atomic Mass  in the days ahead. What do you think?

This story was edited to correct a typo in the number of superheroes in the core set. The correct number is 10.
