game night 07.23.08

The Game: With the Secret Invasion set being released today, we decided to do a "blind box" game. Each player has one booster pack of Secret Invasion heroclix and whatever is in the box is your team. This usually leads to some wildly unbalanced teams between the players, but the fun is in the anticipation of what's in the box.

What's in the box?... WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?


Sorry about that, wild tangent. Anyways...

The Map: We used the map from the new Fantastic Four starter set. The middle cross section is blocking terrain that can't be flown over, phased through or shot through. Also everyone started in the middle of the map separated by the barriers.


The Teams:

Chris pulled a Dr. Strange, Dum Dum Dugan, Yellow Jacket, Spider Slayer and Gravity


Adam discovered a Spider-Girl, Arachne, Hawkeye, Lightspeed and Attuma in his booster


"It's not Attuma" - joke of the night courtesy of Adam


Jeff found Mass Master, Spider-Man, Immortus, Triton and Namor waiting in his booster


Lo and behold, I pulled Triton, Captain America (John Walker), Sharon Carter, Attuma and a Moloid


It was a fun game despite the uneven teams. It ended up coming down to Adam vs. Jeff, with Adam the victor if I remember right.

And finally sing along with me,

*It's heroclix in a box*
