Getting Started In Marvel Crisis Protocol? Where To Begin?

[brennonKeymaster 31135xp 1]

As the title suggests, I may be falling into the world of Marvel Crisis Protocol but I really don’t know where to begin. The obvious starting point would be Earth’s Mighest Core Set I would guess?

If I went for just a couple of the Affiliation Packs (so X-Men and Brotherhood for example) what would I need to buy separately in order to get playing the game? Do they do a components pack etc? Are all the cards you’d need in the box?

Any help would be appreciated!

the cards for the minis are all in the boxes with them but you’ll need the dice pack and the separate movement and range pack. You’ll also need the Crisis Card pack that has the objectives/scenarios for gameplay. Watch out if buying packs on some sites as the earlier version was replaced last year so make sure it says 2023. Older minis may also have older cards but they should be mainly replaced by now I would think.

Ah that was one of the things I was wondering. If I picked up an older miniature kit (so the black ones) it would have the older cards in them. I wonder if they just replaced them online maybe (which would be a ball ache but ah well).

Will have to weigh up the core box + some extra minis Vs getting the Affiliation Packs and the separate accessories. Time to do some hunting…

I think they have a set of cards as an accessory for the old minis, to bring them in line for the new game.

The old boxed set is still available for a steal on like Amazon, plus the cards, and it’s less than the new game. The new box comes with cool terrain stuff though.

I look at it sometimes, obviously, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet 😁

Ah I see – will have to see if I can scout that card set out as well. I did see a lot of copies of the old core set so I have also weighed that up against the new one. The new one does seem to come with a few bonus bits and the extra stuff for the likes of Ultron and Captain Marvel. Decisions, decisions hah

I’m quite enamoured by the game mechanics and I do really like Marvel so it’s got that draw as a bit of an added info. I also think the fact that it only requires a handful of minis per side to play and you can mix and match so much also helps…

@brennon it’s a major ongoing temptation for me 🤣

Edit: the card pack is called “Marvel Crisis Protocol 2023 Crisis Pack”

Especially when I see @chaosgorka painting his all the time. So so good!
