About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your deck ready, because Hydra is everywhere! If you're already a Marvel Champions fan, brace yourself: The Rise of Red Skull isn't just another expansion; it's the massive leap into the campaign mode everyone has been asking for. This nefarious organization is corrupting governments, and chaos is knocking on Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S.'s door. Only you (or your team of heroes) can stop the Red Skull's advance.
What does this expansion bring to the table? First off, we've got two new heroes ready for action: Hawkeye and Spider-Woman. They come with fully pre-built decks, so you can jump straight into the fight! If you prefer crafting your own unique playstyle, you can use the brand-new cards to boost your favorite existing heroes. And the villains? Get ready, because the stakes just got higher. You'll face the menacing Red Skull, along with Crossbones, Absorbing Man, Taskmaster, and Zola. Each one offers a unique mission scenario, ensuring every battle feels fresh.
The real game-changer here is the introduction of the campaign mode. Instead of just playing a standalone match against a villain, you're diving into a narrative where your victories and defeats shape the unfolding story. It's the kind of content that breathes new life into the base game, turning every session into a chapter of an epic superhero saga. If you want to feel the weight of saving the world while managing your hand and building strategic decks, this pack is your next must-have!
