Instead of having a team of 10 soldiers with slightly different loadouts and abilities, each model on your Crisis Protocol team is a very distinct character with its own unique rules (with surprisingly little overlap between characters) and a deep backstory of alliances and feuds with other characters on the board. Skirmish games based on big IPs have tried and failed before, but Marvel Crisis Protocol succeeds because it combines the great setting with a great rule set where every model on the board counts: This makes Marvel Crisis Protocol an excellent game for tabletop players who would like to play games with their non-gamer friends or family, whom they know would never go anywhere near a space marine or a fantasy dwarf – the recognisability of the game’s setting is a big plus. You can buy, paint and play as Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hulk, Ultron or basically any other character you can imagine from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the game also draws heavily upon Marvel comic books, so you can even play as more obscure characters such as the villain The Hood, Kraven the Hunter from Spider-Man, Black Swan and more, as the game is updated with new releases constantly.
Instead of fielding robots, space marines, orks or wizards, your team in this game consists of mighty, superpowered heroes and/or villains that you’ve probably seen before in a movie, in a comic book or on the top of your kid’s lunch box. The first thing that grabs most people’s attention about Marvel Crisis Protocol is, of course, that it’s based on what is probably the most well-known intellectual property in popular culture today: The Marvel superhero universe.
