About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever dreamed of owning the ultimate comic book collection? That elusive issue #1, the first appearance of your favorite villain, or that iconic cover art that redefined a generation? In Comic Hunters, that dream is your primary objective. You step into the shoes of an avid collector scouring stores and online marketplaces to assemble the most valuable archive of the Marvel Universe. But be warned: you aren't the only hunter on the prowl, and the competition for these paper gems is fierce!
The game unfolds over three intense rounds. In each round, you'll visit three out of four available locations to acquire new comic book cards. The excitement lies in the various methods of acquisition, requiring careful planning and tactical decision-making. Once you've secured your finds, it's time to organize your table and expand your collections.
It's not just about the quantity of cards, but about quality and diversity. Each card features 'Spotlight' icons (such as Special Edition or Memorable Clashes) that propel you along scoring tracks. The further you advance on these tracks, the more points you accumulate. Additionally, maintaining a diverse range of heroes and robust collections ensures you'll be hailed as the greatest collector of all time. If you love geek culture and enjoy collection-building games with a touch of auction strategy and hand management, this is the game for you. Clear some shelf space, pick your heroes, and let the hunt begin!
