How to Play MARVEL CHAMPIONS the Card Game - A solo playthrough w/ Spider-Man vs Rhino

[@SuperDoggy99]

Having watched countless videos on this game, I have to say that this has got to be the best play through on KZbin. Clear. Concise. Succinct. Well thought out and executed.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Thanks! Very much appreciated!

[@drewgrgich]

Couldn't agree more. I was looking for precisely this sort of content when I started to learn and play the game this weekend. Can't wait to watch all of your playthroughs.

[@Babyboyo1]

ABSOLUTELY the best playthrough I've seen so far! I just got the game, but I've seen many playthroughs and tutorials and this is the best one indeed.

[@inwoolee4051]

Seriously the best. After watching others I had no idea what was going on. This I understood right away.

[@BlinkXIII]

We just bought the game and this is definitely the best video out here to help you learn the game. After watching this I learned what my family was doing wrong for two straight rounds, which both ended in defeat. Thanks Dale!

[@nancypatout5529]

I have been having so much trouble trying to learn how to play this game (it's my first card game in this style), and this is the first video I've found where it actually make sense! It was helpful to see the "beginner" setup with Spider-Man and the beginner Rhino from beginning to end and your commentary along the way just made everything click. Now I can't wait to try a game myself!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Awesome! Glad the video helped, and good luck with your game!!

[@JonaBullets]

I totally agree with @Nancy on this, this video is on point! I have had to pause the video to make this comment, to say, Dale, you are a champion for putting this video together, it had hit the nail on the head and gone straight into the wood, flush! Solid Delivery, and perfect speed of play, and the way the cards came out is like it's been stacked perfectly to show everything that it has on offer.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@JonaBullets Thanks for the watching, and I appreciate the comment! :)

[@christinet.4159]

Me too...I've been in tears trying to understand how yo play but my son gets it instantly. 😭

[@jamesblondahl2531]

Just bought this as my first LCG. Read through the rules, had zero idea what I was doing, and came here. Dude, thank you. What a great idea for a channel. You’re a legend 👏👏

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Welcome to Marvel Champions and glad I was able to get you started! Have fun!! :)

[@abesapien9930]

As a boardgame publisher and designer myself, I am of the opinion that while the rulebook is thorough and well-organized, it did not explain the core concepts well or in a simple manner.

[@middleclassjoe]

The pacing of your playthrough was perfect. Keep it up.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Thanks!! Have you purchased the game yet?

[@nomorecontinues6564]

This is one of the best game tutorial videos I’ve seen. Period. I just got the game and this was a huge help in getting ready for my first play.

[@brigbrizz]

I've loved your solo play throughs, but every few months I get the urge to break out the game and realized I've forgot how to play, then end up here again. Thank you for this, and for all the previous times I've watched this in the past!

[@StarfieldBound]

There are a few presentation patterns one can use to demonstrate gameplay to help others learn 'how its played' - they all have value. However your videos, especially this one works for me perfectly. Appreciate the straight-to-the-point and focused narration, consistent use of camera closeups on cards.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Patrick Manderson Thanks, very much appreciated! Hope you games are going well! :)

[@kenodo]

I am just getting into this game and have read and watched several tutorials already and STILL confused until i watched your tutorial. Your pace and playthrough made it so much easier to understand! Appreciate you taking your time to make this for people to learn this game. Can't wait to dive into this game! Thanks man, great tutorial.

[@reimannsum9077]

One of the most helpful, smooth, clear, and well-paced video introductions to the game that I've seen. Wonderful.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@reimannsum9077 Thanks! Very much appreciated! :)

[@hongcuong]

Sir, you are a life-saver! 💌 I played it all wrong with the rules: 1 - I played only one card/ turn (since in the rulebook they write "playing a card") so I struggled too much for having so few cards on my table. It was so underpowered compared to Rhino armies. 2 - I only flip hero/ alter ego before using Spidey's basic action (so I did not punch Rhino then turn back to Peter for once). That made my game tougher. I lost four matches in a row, 3 with Spidey and 1 with Captain Marvel. I knew there was something wrong... Then I found your video! This is life-saving for me, really!!! I would do a rematch soon, knowing things are much better this way. Thanks a bunch!!! 🙌

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Glad the video was able to help!! Hopefully games are much more fun now! And thanks for watching!

[@BlinkXIII]

Not only did the video help tremendously but you also answered so many questions in the comment section! Thanks for the amazing walkthrough video Dale!

Great video man. Now I know how to play if. Thank you very much

[@boredoperator2827]

Great video, Dale! I'm picking up the game today and was hoping for an overview - this was really helpful in understanding the mechanics.

[@DevilboyScooby]

"Aunt May's gonna give us some Tylenol" made me laugh 😂 didn't realise paracetamol was so strong over there!

[@billstrohler]

Very clear explanations. I know this was years ago but I just bought the game a month ago and still learning.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Bill Strohler Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoy the game!!

[@Fishingwiththefishers]

I have this game arriving tomorrow. The video was super useful. Many playthroughs go too quickly and assume you know what they're doing. I like how you talk through everything in enough detail to fully understand. Have yourself a new subscriber!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Gavin Fisher Glad the video was useful, and hope you enjoy the game!! And thanks for subscribing!

[@rudigerkipferl4479]

Wow. Have been lying around this game for two years now and just couldn't get into it. Wanted to try it once more with the German language edition and your video has really opened up this game for me. Going to use your series as a tutorial to get into all the heroes - thanks for your great work, perfect job that you've done here...

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Glad you are getting into the game, and thanks for watching! :)

Guter Kommentar, Rüdiger 👍

[@timothymorgan1175]

I mainly want this game for solo mode,was on the fence. This video has sold me on the game. Best how to play video ever.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Thanks for watching, and happy gaming! :)

[@eggroll20xd6]

I've been binge watching/listening to your playthroughs of different heroes, villains, and scenarios. Thank you for your step by step playthrough as well as notes about mistakes as I just started playing this game 3 days ago and your videos have helped so much! Definitely some rules I'm still figuring out along with timing, but your videos have been a major help! I have quickly become addicted to Marvel Champions!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Richard Herrera Glad I could help with your Marvel Champions addiction! Happy gaming! :)

[@draksinus]

Great video! My friend and I played tonight. We had things mostly right, with some errors. It's really nice to confirm things we weren't sure about and fix what we did wrong. Thank you!

[@Teachermook]

That was a thematic end. Swinging web kick to the face, likely sending Rhino into a wall and out cold. Sometimes you just got to take crime by the horn and deal with it.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

A very thematic game design for sure. Thanks for watching! :)

[@oftenbetterthanone]

this was the best beginner's "how to play" video i've seen for this game. Thanks!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

[@discard8168]

Excellent playthrough. Several others were either too quick and breezed over things I needed to know or were very convoluted and all over the place. Now to go play for the first time!

[@fuloran1]

This is an awesome playthrough. I think I learned how to play this game from this better than all the "how to play" videos I have seen.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Thanks!! I hope it's gotten you on your way to defeating those villains! :)

[@AnthonyArchermagic]

Thank you for a well explained and clear tutorial, also thanks for using the starter Spidey deck which made it easier to follow along with.

[@dominicwilkinson742]

Omg thank you for this was so easy to understand and follow. I’ve tried twice to learn this game and get analysis paralysis each time and gave up. Now I feel like I can try again!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Dominic Wilkinson Glad to help get you on your way, and hope you enjoy many games of Marvel Champions!! :)

[@christopherdrogos7963]

Great job man! We play all kinds of board games but never play games like this. We just couldn’t wrap our minds around it. Now I’m stoked to play. Cant wait to check out your other vids.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Christopher Drogos Thanks, and hope you enjoy your plays! :)

[@tonybowers9490]

Very well done! I think you went through the rules, steps, etc. in the right amount. You played at a good pace and still commented on every step and decision you took. And, I think this is the first play of this game I've viewed from other players in which there were no rule errors (I didn't notice any).

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Thanks for the kind words, very much appreciated. I've been watching all the other play throughs online since this game was mentioned at GenCon, and have gotten about a dozen plays in so far, but if there aren't any rule errors/honest mistakes, this would probably be my first! :)

[@FranzBazar]

I love when I find your solo play throughs for the games I want to play next. I feel like yours are some of the best. You get the rules correct so we can learn the game correctly, you have a clear and succinct way of talking through things without a ton of fluff. Very good. Hope you keep up the great work!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Franz Bazar Wow, thanks! I do my best. Mistakes happen, but I do try to make notes. Hope you enjoy Marvel Champions! It's currently my favorite game. :)

[@Filthyanimal9]

At 24:18 mark, when Rhino goes to attack but is stunned, why don’t you draw a boost card first then nullify the attack from the stun? Thx so much for the awesome step-by-step walkthrough. As others commented, this is by far the best tutorial on how to play!

[@zakkwolfe1850]

I've watched many videos and have established a basic understanding. This one really hit it home for me, great presentation man!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Thanks for watching, and happy gaming! :)

[@MoralCertainty]

I just played my first game and had made it way harder for myself as I had misinterpreted a fair few rules. I should have watched this first as you explained it amazingly well.

Hi, great playthrough! I learned a lot from this video. One question at 18:11 though. I thought you suppose to remove Nick Fury after you finish the round but how come you keep it in until the next round?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Zpsx Js Nick goes away at the end of the turn, but that includes keeping him in for the villain phase to defend with. Hope that helps, and good luck with your game! :)

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Thanks for watching, and happy gaming! :)

[@andykiss8124]

Great info, Dale. Three more slightly advanced questions: 1) Do Villains and Minions exhaust when they attack? 2) When a Villain has an attached card and is reduced to zero hit points, does the attachment persevere / continue to be attached (say from phase 1 Rhino to phase 2 Rhino)? 3) When I have a card or thwart ability that removes more than one scheme counter, can I split the removal across more than one scheme. For example, if I have a card or ability that removes 3 scheme counters, and the villain has the Rhino main scheme and the Breakin' and Takin' side scheme in play, could I remove two from a side scheme then one from the main scheme? BTW - this is truly the best KZbin tutorial from this game.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Thanks, much appreciated! 1) They do not exhaust, so you need to remember who attacked you that round ... and encounter cards or other effects can have them attack again (and again, and again). 2) Cards and status effects will stay on the villain when he progresses to the next version. 3) That thwart action only effects one scheme, unless it specifies otherwise. Good luck!!

Great video showing how to play this game. My wife and son bought me the core set this week. I made a lot of mistakes in my first try and have yet get by Rhino with Spider-man yet. Usually beat me due getting 7 on the main scheme. I have played about 4 times so far, but love this game so far. Once I got the hang of taking care of the scheme or keeping it in check, my game was interrupted. I will get him next time. LOL.

Thanks so much for this video. Quick questions though please. Right at the beginning, when you removed the four justice cards. Did you really need to do that? You could have kept them in your deck and used them for their resources? No?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Nicholas Boudreau Thanks for watching. At the beginning of the game you are allowed a "mulligan" where you can discard cards from your initial hand and then draw that many more to create your starting hand for the game. Hope that helps! Happy gaming!

[@samhuang4423]

Great video! One question, around 24:25 when hydra bomber revealed, other than dealing 2 damage, does he atk for 1 as well? or minions doesn’t atk on their revealed turn? Thank you

[@TheAdlee13]

2 questions regarding encounters and side schemes. If there is a side scheme that appears in the encounter phase with the +1 encounter card on it. Do you draw another encounter card that same turn? Or does it only apply in the next villain phase. And second, is there a maximum of encounter cards a player draws in 1 turn? Example: in your turn your deck runs out and there is a scheme with the +1 encounter in play already. Would you draw 3 encounter cards in the villain phase?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@adam valentino Thanks for watching! Side schemes that have you draw additional encounter cards only activates during the step 3 of the villain phase (dealing encounter cards to players). And there is no maximum number of encounter cards to draw ... so deal with those nasty side schemes as soon as possible! :) Hope that helps, and good luck!

[@Maborx]

Great video, thanks for that. But I have one question. At Min 11:08 you use Spider-man action (attack), flip (in exhaust mode) and then use the Alter Ego ability? I found it a bit confusing that you are allowed to do that? But I guess you can still do the Abilitys (but not his Recover action).

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Marc Sodermanns Correct, you can use abilities and play cards from your hand while exhausted. Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)

[@Alawatakima]

Thank you for the walk through. Very helpful. Maybe do a walk through with commentary on why you chose which card?

[@lucuswilliams4598]

Is flipping the hero the last part of your turn? are you still able to play cards after you flip?

Hi Dale, when Rhino has charge it says discard it after he attacks. If he is stunned and you remove the stunned card when he would attack. Does that class him as attacking and so you remove the charge ability as well?

Hi, Thanks for the video. Near the end when you had to shuffle your deck to draw to your hand size, you dealt an extra encounter card. Why was that?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

When you go through your player deck, you deal yourself an encounter card. If you go through the villains encounter deck, the main scheme will get an acceleration token. The game will "punish" you for going "slow". ;) Thanks for watching!

Can you flip the character card once you use the passive ability? For example, if you started the round in alter ego form as Peter Parker, could you get the free mental resource from his ability then flip his card to hero side as Spider man?

Great beginner walk-thru, thanks! I just bought the core set and, because it's my first foray into LCG's, found the in-box instructions to be a bit intimidating. Are there any good resources for beginners to use for building a deck after a couple of introductory play-thru's?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Ben Furman Welcome to Marvel Champions, and thanks for watching! There is a site where people share their deck builds, but for learning for your self, after a couple plays with the preconstructed, I'd recommend just swapping out a few cards and see how it impacts the game. Some heroes are easy to see synergy, like Captain Marvel with energy resources, and Iron-Man with tech while others you may need to create your own synergy with the aspect you choose or with any other players/heroes. Following is some of my deck builds at marvelcdb.com/decklists/find?author=dalethecasualgamer Hope that helps, and good luck! :)

[@ponczos_2293]

Man your tutorial walkthroughs are perfect. I've watched some tutorials about some board games but usually I end up confused. Yours on the other hand are so easy to understand and clear that one video is enough for me to get it. Btw. What happens during the phase of the villain when he has attack but there are two or more players? Also, have you ever made a solo video about the spirecrest expansion for Everdell?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Ponczos_22 Thanks, very much appreciated! When the villain activates, he will activate separately against every character (I have plenty more videos of Marvel Champions playing with 2 characters). As for Everdell, all I did was the core box. Did not pick up any of the expansion for that game. Happy gaming!

My only questions... at 13:20 when Bomb Scare comes out... Rhino has 4 threat level, then this card enter with 3 threat level. Since it's a total of 7, would you have lost the game? Or are the threat levels not all combined together? I noticed that Bomb Scare doesn't have a maximum threat level listed on it.

Hi, you can use Haymaker though Spiderman is exhausted? It's a hero action attack is like web kick, i got confused.

@Cesar Lopez Albarran Thanks for watching! "Actions" do not require you to exhaust your character, so free to play as long as you can pay the resources. Your basic powers are typically the only thing that will exhaust your character, Attack, Thwart, Defend, and Recover. Hope that helps, and enjoy your game! :)

Great video, very informative! May I ask where you bought the stands you used for the villain and scheme cards?

Thanks for the video - I did my first play though this evening, and found this video to review the rules of my play though. The pacing and explanations are great. I had a question regarding the play of the Nick Fury card - I think perhaps that he should of been exhausted after attacking? And then he shouldn’t of been able to thwart because he should of left play at the end of the villain round ? Let me know what you think here. I’m enjoying the game so far.

Thanks! And glad the video was helpful. When Nick Fury comes into play, you get to choose from 3 different options, and then you can still thwart or attack with him again ... and then use him to defend. Very good card!! Hope that helps.

@@DaletheCasualGamer This really helped me as I had been removing Nick at the end of the player phase thinking that was the end of the round! Forgot that the next Villian phase is still the current round!

This cleared up so many questions I had. Thank you so much.

Glad to help! Good luck in your games! :)

Love your setup and your explanation. Best one yet! Would love to see your setup. Do you have a tutorial or maybe a quick rundown of where the camera is angled and what stands you’re using. Looks like the camera is literally in front of you, like the camera are your “eyes” which makes this angle great! I’ve seen some top down angles but doesn’t work as good as yours. Would love to know your secret! Keep up the good work!!!

@Pablo LaFrossia Thanks, very much appreciated! I couldn't find a good way to link, but if you go to my facebook page and scroll back to December 25, 2020 there is a picture of my set-up. It's an attachment to a shelf that holds my iphone about eye level. Hope that helps! facebook.com/thecasualgamer.biz
