About the game
What you do in a play session
Nova Hero Pack brings the latest Marvel superhero, Sam Alexander, into action as Nova in the Marvel Champions universe. The pack includes 15 hero cards, featuring a pre‑built Aggression deck that you can use right away or tailor to your play style. The core mechanic is “wild” cards that can be used as any resource, enabling unexpected combos and high‑impact plays. In addition, the pack adds a new modular encounter set featuring the infamous Armadillo, with rotating cards that keep the game fresh. The game stays true to its cooperative core, where up to four players (or solo) battle cosmic threats, building decks, managing hands, and exploring each hero’s unique powers. If you enjoy deck‑building dynamics and tactical decision‑making, Nova is a boost that amps up the action and opens new synergy possibilities. The expansion also works well for newcomers who want to jump in without buying the base game, as the pre‑built deck serves as a solid introduction. In short, Nova Hero Pack delivers a charismatic hero, versatile cards, and an encounter set that boosts replayability—all in line with the cooperative style fans of Marvel love.
