About the game
What you do in a play session
Silk, the heroine who shares the same spider powers as Peter Parker, swings into Marvel Champions as a fresh hero to command. After years locked in a bunker to evade the ravenous spider‑hunters known as the Inheritors, Cindy Moon is freed and now splits her time between investigative journalism and crime‑fighting on the streets of New York. The Silk pack gives you the hero, fifteen signature cards that showcase her agility, heightened senses, and ability to quickly learn enemy moves, plus a full set of Protection cards to keep your allies safe. It also includes a modular mini‑scenario featuring Atlas of the Thunderbolts, perfect for anyone wanting to tackle A.I.M. agents. The pack comes with a 40‑card pre‑built deck, ready to play straight out of the box, but it isn’t standalone – you need the Marvel Champions core set. Core mechanics remain deck construction, card‑play conflict resolution, chaining effects, and scenario‑style campaign missions, all spiced with a dash of math for resource and damage calculations. Designed for 1‑4 players, a game can run 45‑120 minutes depending on mission complexity. With a BGG weight of 3/5, the learning curve is moderate, yet Silk’s fluid card interactions tend to please both newcomers and series veterans. In short, the Silk Hero Pack adds speed and versatility, reinforcing the cooperative spirit of Marvel Champions.
