## Description
Heroscape Marvel: The Conflict Begins debuted in 2007 as a classic entry in the Heroscape line, but with an extra dose of Marvel heroes and villains. The game is pure two‑player dueling: 2 players, 60 minutes, and a board that can transform into any scenario thanks to modular terrain tiles. Each miniature comes with a card that shows speed, attack strength, and defense—and, in the master version, special powers that make everything even more epic. Combat is straightforward: roll attack dice, the opponent rolls defense dice, and the leftovers are wounds. If you enjoy strategy, you'll love the grid movement, where every step matters. The basic version removes powers and extra rules, ideal for beginners or those who want a quicker game. The master version adds everything: wounds, engagement, fall rules, and a card‑draft system that gives rhythm to the play. The components are robust: plastic miniatures, colorful cards, six‑sided dice, and terrain tiles that fit into any configuration. If you're a fan of comics, superheroes, or miniature battles, this game will keep you glued to the table. And the best part: you can play with a pre‑built army to save time, or build your own army to customize the experience.
