Unlike other Marvel games Crisis Protocol pits itself as a proper tabletop game and opening the box presents you with a wedge of plastic sprues that you must snip the character minis out of and then glue them together. The advantage of this style of miniature is an increased level of detail that is possible. However do be warned that some assembly is required!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is worth it though as these minis look amazing and paint up a treat! Also included in the set is scenery which is not just window dressing. Cars and other scenery can be used as weapons by the super powered combatants, picked up, thrown and of course destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGames can be played in a few ways. When learning the game you can leave out some of the tactic cards and just slug it out. Each character plays differently and how you would expect. Hulk is a physical beast but a big target. Spiderman can utilise his webs to pick up and hurl scenery and so on. This means your strategy comes down to learning your opponents strengths and weaknesses as well as your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can play on any 3ft by 3ft surface, though a playmat and extra scenery (official or home brewed) can help with immersion. Set up involves choosing your characters for your squad, and setting up the map and selecting missions. There is no deck building involved, rather you are choosing characters based on their unique powers. Tactic cards add another layer of depth here too. Gameplay revolves around measuring sticks and dice. The measuring sticks are plastic and some of them pivot too for ease of use around corners and so on. The included dice have the exploding dice mechanic where a critical hit not only hits but also allows you a reroll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is very interesting as getting attacked builds your power level which you can then use to drive your retaliation. This encourages players to get stuck in and take a few hits in order to build up some power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThor is one of the strongest beings in the Universe and a god. Wielding Mjolnir he also commands storms and lightning! Valkyrie is the leader of the all female person shield maidens of Odin the Asgardian Valkyrior. Being Asgardian she shares many traits with Thor and has extensive martial training!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayer count: 2\u003cbr\u003e\nTime: 45 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\nAge rating: 14+\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Asmodee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56046909194618,"sku":"ZBG-FFGMSG11","price":32.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Marvel-Crisis-Protocol-Thor-And-Valkyrie.jpg?v=1760968346","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/products\/marvel-crisis-protocol-thor-and-valkyrie","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
