About the game

What you do in a play session

Think you’ve seen the end of the hero wars? Think again! The ‘Synthezoid Smackdown’ scenario pack throws a fresh showdown onto the table between She‑Hulk, champion of the Super‑Hero Registration Act, and Vision, the tech‑savvy rebel leading the resistance. Each hero brings a deck that mirrors their stance: She‑Hulk with raw power and massive attack cards, Vision with tech‑driven tactics and control tricks. The pack contains 90 cards, including eight modular encounter sets (four for registration, four for resistance) that pair perfectly with the Civil War expansion decks, letting you craft even more custom battles. On top of that, there’s a competitive mode with rules and cards where each player picks a leader and races to be the first to defeat the opponent. If you love moral dilemmas, pick your side and test your team’s strength. The game keeps the classic cooperative mechanics of Marvel Champions, but adds new cards and challenges that demand coordination and strategy. Vibrant artwork and timely themes of politics and identity make this pack a refreshing experience for anyone familiar with the game’s universe. If you don’t own the base game yet, remember this pack only works with it, so check compatibility before buying. Modular encounters let you dial up the intensity: stack the resistance cards for a frantic pace, or go with registration for a more tactical showdown. Each scenario tells a unique story, with dialogue that brings the plot to life and decisions that shape the flow of battle. The pack also introduces new gameplay effects, like ‘cutting’ opponent cards or ‘recruiting’ temporary allies, keeping the experience fresh and unpredictable. High‑quality production ensures every card is durable and visually striking, with detailed illustrations that capture each character’s essence. In short, ‘Synthezoid Smackdown’ is the perfect add‑on for anyone looking to explore new angles of the Marvel universe and challenge themselves with high‑energy cooperative combat.
