Perfect Gift for Marvel Fans: Marvel Champions is an excellent choice for anyone who loves the Marvel universe. This cooperative card game allows players to step into the shoes of their favorite superheroes and battle iconic villains. It’s a perfect gift for Marvel fans, offering an immersive experience that brings the excitement of the comics to life.
Marvel Champions is not just a game; it’s an experience that brings people together. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or new to the hobby, this game offers endless fun and excitement. Among the great games available, Marvel Champions stands out for its ability to create memorable experiences and stories, making it a fantastic addition to any game night.
Thematic Wooden Storage box
Sure, you could throw everything in a white cardboard BCW, but every Marvel Champions player is going to be excited about upgrading their storage.
I’ve been salivating over this storage box from Daydream Gaming for years, but no one ever bought it for me despite all the hints I dropped.
I picked one up this summer and it is, perhaps, the nicest thing I own. It’s beautiful and extremely well-made. It looks fantastic on my shelf and is the envy of everyone at the game store where I play every Thursday.
It holds an incredible amount of content. Mine is currently holding all the villains and modulars, and one deck for each aspect and I still have tons of room to expand when the next box comes out.
Fair warning, to put everything in the entire game, you would need three. One for your aspect cards, one for your villains, and one for your heroes. But one will be a fantastic start.
This thing is an incredible luxury and the perfect gift for any Marvel Champions enthusiast. You cannot go wrong. Everybody needs to store their cards and everybody (secretly) wants to do it in style, earning bonus points for both functionality and aesthetics.
Tokens and Dials
Buy the Same Token makes incredible, high quality, thematic tokens for the game. They have all kinds of stuff, some that only applies to a single hero or single card. You don’t need to be intimidated though; they have a starter set, which is probably the best choice, but you definitely can’t go wrong with either the status tokens or the ready/exhausted tokens. Those would be welcome in any player’s kit, helping them keep track of as many points as possible during gameplay.
Gamegenic Token holder
While we are on the topic of tokens, why not get them the excellent storage solution from Gamegenic. This will hold all their tokens dice and counters in a convenient tray that can be used to separate the different token types. Just pop the lid and you are ready to play.
Thematic Playmats – Marvel Universe
A thematic or functional playmat can certainly enhance the experience for any Marvel Champions player. It protects your cards and makes them easier to pick up, which is a game changer for someone playing on a hard surface. But even if they already have a regular mat, getting a game-specific mat can add theme and functionality to the experience.
There are two options that I recommend:
The big one from Gamegenic is the perfect size for solo or two player games, giving you space for the villain and two hero boards. The theming here is subtle and it’s the official mat, so it’s an obvious choice.
I also really like the player dashboard mats found here on etsy. They aren’t official, but they offer players some functionality since they can slide their cards on the mat to show that they are available or exhausted. It’s a really nice feature and will definitely streamline gameplay.
Art Sleeves for their favorite Marvel Heroes
Do they have a favorite hero? Picking up speciality sleeves that they can use for their favorite deck to add a touch of ultimate power and a little theme and a little flash to their game is a great choice. Probably not something most people will pick up for themselves, but something anyone would appreciate receiving.
