It’s the big green machine, the Hulk and he has arrived in Marvel Champions as more than an ally that tends to wreck your plans. Let’s go through the cards in this hero pack and I’ll put some thought out there. Agree or disagree, let me know in the comments.

Gloomhaven | Jaws of the Lion E03 | Red Plays
After dealing with vermlings outside of Gloomhaven our heroes, Dora and Boots, have determined a nasty guy named Roland ( Write?) is buying corpses. These corpses are being delivered to a broken down ship on the docks and we are off to investigate what is known as “The Black Ship” .
Gloomhaven | Jaws of the Lion E02 | Red Plays
Our first encounter was the Roadside Ambush which takes us to A Hole in the Wall in this episode. The Voidwarden and Red Guard handled the vermlings fairly easily in our first session, but things are going to start to get harder in this second session. Let’s see if Dora ( Voidwarden ) and Boots ( Red Guard ) can handle another encounter with the vermlings.
Gloomhaven | Jaws of the Lion E01 | Red Plays
We unboxed Jaws of the Lion a few weeks back and now it’s time to get down to playing. Voidwarden and Red Guard look like an interesting pair, so let’s give those a go and see if they can survive the adventure.
Red Reveals | Thunderstone Quest | Clockwork Destiny
The Kickstarter boxes have arrived and it’s time to unpack some new Thunderstone Quest pieces from AEG. Clockwork Destiny is a version of steampunk you could call thunderstone-punk. There seems to be lots of mechanical pieces with spells and items that make use of thunderstones. Lets unpack all the cards and see what is there so you can decide if this an expansion you want.
Red Reveals | Thunderstone Quest | Vengeful Sands
The Kickstarter boxes have arrived and it’s time to unpack some new Thunderstone Quest pieces from AEG. Vengeful Sands is expansion #8 which is based on a desert theme and tends to push a lot on the village, disease and class mechanic. Lets unpack all the cards and see what is there so you can decide if this an expansion you want.
Marvel Champions | E112 Doctor Strange vs Medusa | Red Plays
Cap didn’t take Medusa down, but now Doctor Strange is in the house. Let’s give the latest hero a run and see how he does against one of the harder villains I’ve faced in standard mode. I haven’t played Strange yet, so this will involve learning his cards and just what it is he can do.
Red Reveals | Keyforge | Mass Mutation Starter Set
Mass Mutation came out this last Friday. Let’s unbox the new starter set and see what is included. In the box is a couple of randomly generated decks so we can see what some of the new mutation effects do to the cards. https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2020/1/30/mass-mutation/
Red Reviews | Xia | Folded Space Organizer
After getting my hands on Xia and adding in two expansions the box was pretty damn messy. I went out looking for something to make my life better. Along came the Folded Space organizer, so I bought one and thought I’d give it a shot. The package came a bit beat up in the mail, so this is my assembly not knowing if it would actually still work and how the final product would fit in the box. This fit the original Xia Legend of a Drift System, Embers of a Forsaken Star and Mission and Powers. I have not sleeved all the cards yet but it looks like the will fit. Once I do I’ll note here if they don’t fit.

Marvel Champions | E111 Captain America vs Medusa | Red Plays
It’s the Fourth of July in the USA so we’ll celebrate with an episode of Marvel Champions putting Captain America up against Medusa to see who comes out on top. Captain America has been on the bench for close to 100 plays so I imagine we’ll be a bit rusty and Medusa seems like one of the harder custom content villains.
