20 Best 4 Decks For Clan Wars (2022 Updated)

The new starter decks are a welcome addition to the range as they give you a chance to try a style of deck that you might not otherwise play. A little notebook explains the theory behind the deck’s playstyle and there are extra cards so you can play around with modifying the deck.

Great for new players and a chance for older players to grab a few extra copies of some useful cards that the original Core Set came up short on.

While long time fans won’t find anything new here, new players like me are sure to love this quick way to catch up on a lot of great old cards pre formed into an extremely functional deck.

Love the opportunity to play with more powerful cards than in just the base set. A great starting point.

A great 2-4 player game, building an interesting story of success and failures over the space of 90 minutes. Based on the original game Clank! This game uses the original game’s mechanics and adds the requirements of specific goals to achieve before being able to access the loot to plunder.

All the while causing the players to add the inevitable “clank” to the bag leading to players victory or demise! Definitely a game to introduce players to deck builders, adding a little bit of competition and excitement to the mix, guaranteed to have a fun time, leading to some real cheers in victory or heads in hands moments when you colour clank is pulled from the bag.

We’ve only played once since getting this but it was a lot of fun. It does seem to be a longer game so it’s likely one you will plan specifically to play rather than just a random game night type game.

For us we leaned more into the deck building mechanic since we all had more experience there. The real fun started after we had grabbed the treasures to begin escaping. On future play throughs I would plan to focus on this aspect more than building my deck each turn.

That may play a little faster. Overall I’d say if you’re an avid gamer and enjoy games with a little more complexity this is definitely worth picking up. The quality of the components is good overall, but I personally want to get custom standees for the meeples.

The humorous card references also make for a lot of fun. This is one I am glad to have in the collection and look forward to future play throughs!.

I’d recommend getting used to “normal” catan before adding this expansion, as there are various extra rules that make the game difficult to follow. If you know what you’re doing though it’s a great expansion, almost makes it a brand new game.

Additions include the ability to have ships, which are basically like roads but you can rearrange them after they’ve been built, and the pirate, essentially the robber for the sea. The best bit for me though is the new “scenarios” in the rules – these describe different board layouts and different games you can play.

For example, in one scenario there are multiple islands to travel to which you can settle on for extra victory points. In another scenario, there are a number of small islands you can’t settle on but can get “gifts” from tribes for traveling there (like victory points, new harbours, development cards).

This involves building and moving ships, and using the pirate to stop your opponents – essentially making the most of the new game mechanics. Overall, the game is made better by the addition of ships and islands, but the scenarios make it better still by giving more context and a story in which to play.

Definitely a worthwhile addition if you already enjoy Catan.

This is a great expansion of an already great game. It gives you many more scenarios to play out. Each game can last between 1-2 hours as you rush to be the first to explore different areas and collect differant resources.

The addition to boats in this seafarers expantion adds another dynamic to the game. It now contains a pirate as well as a robber and extra point for being the first to reach new islands. It has keep my family of four entertained throughout lockdown.

This is great addition to the base game. You might need to check YouTube for some additional rules / ways to play though that dont seem to be mentioned in the new booklet that comes with this expansion pack.

Highly recommend if you like Catan! Mighty Ape service and shipping time was impeccable as always.

The service and price of MM products are the best. They will always have my business. That being said, the unlimited print run of Crucible of War from the Flesh and Blood TCG by Legend Story Studios is very inconsistent from a collector’s standpoint.

I know that cold foils are only run in 1st Edition and Rainbow foils run in Unlimited editions. 90% of the foils from my box were common rarity. I received many duplicate common foils. The worse box of FAB I have ever opened.

This has cards for all hero classes that came before it (sorry illusionist), and is meant as a supplement. It’s got tons of new equipment, some powerful generics, and new heroes for Blitz! If you enjoy the game, make sure you get some of this set, DO NOT START HERE.

You won’t be able to play with JUST this set!.

A classic that never goes out of style. And is always a favorite. I just bought a nice deck and it has a galaxy print on it. The side that has the card numbers on it, is dark which is a nice change from the norm.

They had many different styles to choose from including the original standard deck. When I saw them at the store, I realized I couldn’t recall having a deck of cards. They were lost in the shuffle during the last time we moved.

Happy to have another deck again. So many different games you can play. Or. Even for the little ones, challenge them to building a house and see how big they can make it. I might get another deck.

Picked up a few of these Rider Backs when I started learning some magic/sleight of hand tricks— gold, green, silver, orange, and turquoise. Upon opening them, I could instantly feel the difference between these and whatever old cards I’d been using.

So easy to handle, even for a novice like me. Many of the moves I’d been trying to learn became so much easier with these Bicycles, I knew I had to order a few more decks to keep on hand. I like that each color has its own couple gaff cards, although I might’ve liked some examples of tricks I could do with them.

But I’m sure I’ll figure something out as my skills improve. 2 Ordered several bicycle decks of cards in various colors so we could play double solitaire with the grandkids and everyone have same size cards with different colors! Works out great ! Quality is great ! The packaging was really great , no way to have any damage in the mailing process.

Bicycle brand cards were coveted by my son when he was younger and loved doing magic tricks. They are high quality, they slip easily against each other and do not become sticky over time. They do not split at the sides when they are shuffled like other cards do.

I teach kindergarten students and we use cards a lot for maths games. I ordered these bicycle brand cards to gift a pack to each child in my class for the end of the school year. I gave them out today and the kids were thrilled.

I’m sure they will last them for a long while.

Catalyst has done a wonderful job with its Kickstarter mechs. These are high quality plastic miniatures with tremendous detail. They paint well and, if you are into it, they modify nicely. I personally like to rebase mine on the older metal minis so that they are harder to tip over, but that’s a personal preference.

The Clan Heavy Star does a great job of matching up the old Macross art to the Battletech stats given for the mini, all with a much better looking and more modern feel. Well done all around!.

I have been playing a Hunchback IIC with a regular hunchback sculpt for 20 years and finally don’t have to do that anymore. My kids are going to be so upset with me the first time I unload 80 points of damage on one of their mechs in one salvo.

I can’t wait. I don’t think the Stone Rhino is actually very effective on the battlefield, but my boys are already intimidated by it’s size and design. The mini is big. I love it. This is going to be a dangerous star.

I can’t wait to play them.

Probably my favorite force pack so far. Each sculpt is fantastic, and the quality of the plastic is quite good. Who cares if they aren’t omni mechs; they’re some of the coolest mechs available!

I heard that Dark City is the best Marvel Legendary add-on, and so far I am impressed. The sheer number of iconic heroes and villains is enough to keep you busy for some time. The new Keywords allow for greater flexibility, without adding too much complication.

The new rule variants, although they don’t change the game significantly, help you customize the game to add new challenge. The modifications to the single-player mode, although simple, make the solo mode much more interesting.

All in all, Dark City is a no-brainer for any fan of Legendary, especially now that it’s back in print! The hero selection is mostly on-theme, and most of them feel mechanically sound. Dark City does a great job of capturing that 1980s-1990s “dark” comic feel, with teams like X-Force and Marvel Knights.

A lot of the big names, Ghost Rider, Daredevil and Cable to name a few, are here. A selection of X-Men, including Jean Grey, are thrown in for some reason, probably for those who might not care about the gritty Marvel heroes.

Personally, I’d have loved to have seen some other “Dark” characters like Moon Knight or Werewolf by Night, seeing as X-Men would later get their own expansion anyway. The Villains and Schemes are also on-theme.

My favorite was having Kingpin with the crime-wave scheme: Villains were flooding in the city so fast I could barely keep up with them all! It was a good time. The new keywords are all good. Versatile, which gives you your choice of Recruitment Points or Attack Power, is useful in both early and late game.

Teleport gives you some control over your hands, by allowing you to set aside a card for the next turn. Bribe lets you defeat enemies with either Recruitment or Attack, which helps stop the game from stalling when you draw one of those hands that’s all recruitment points.

The biggest change, however, is the new bystanders. Bystanders now give you benefits when you rescue them, which makes rescuing a bystander much more satisfying than before. The new variant rules are exciting, and all find ways to add new difficulty to the game.

The new solo mode allows you to use all five Master Strikes, which is great because a lot of Masterminds lose their “bite” if you only have one Master Strike. If you’re a solo player, I strongly recommend adopting the Dark City solo rules once you get comfortable with Legendary.

I’m not a diehard fan of the “dark” Marvel Comics, but I found there to be a lot to enjoy about this expansion. Dark City gives you more of everything, without adding too much complexity or padding. The new keywords help the game flow, and there’s enough here to keep you playing for some time.

Legendary Marvel deck builder came out in 2012. Back then many Deckbuilding games came out. But this one was themed with the Marvel franchise. It stood out from the traditional Deckbuilding games by having Schemes.

Which work similar to objectives and revealing a certain number of twist cards made bad things happen. Your goal ultimately is to work as a team and prevent the Main Villain from completing his scheme.

The core box has a couple of each of the popular teams like xmen, avengers, shield and good starting villains like Red skull, Magneto, Dr doom and loki. The good: A solid Deckbuilding experience Cooperative Objective based scheme allows for different wining conditions A decent roster of heroes, henchmen, villains.

Lots of expansions. The bad: The art is mediocre. As a comic fan, with many purchases of Marvel fan items, I believe they could do so much better. Seeing 1 version of a card in 3 different background colours to distinguish them apart other than cost is very unappealing.

In other words plain and boring. Every game set up involves mixing what heroes you want to play, the villains you want to face, henchmen groups etc. So you got to shuffle all these in various decks. If you don’t shuffle well, well you can get the same hero, villain repeating the line up.

While set up is not as bad, the tear down is bad. For all the heroes, henchmen groups, etc, you will have to separate the cards into their respective group and then store away inbox. This takes the majority of time.

Although the core box has many heroes, the synergy is having cards that work well with each other. E. g. xmen only or avengers only. But if you randomly choose random heroes, this works against you as none of their abilites can help other cards or players and it will make the game difficult vs picking all xmen makes it fun and not too challenging.

I believe there was 8 schemes which provides some replability but not all are great and you 0ay just play 5 in rotation. The price is still expensive after 8 years roughly $50-55 off a retail of $60 Overall.

There is still no better deck building Marvel game. Other than Marvel Championships but that’s more of a card management since the deck is pre made so I won’t compare. Lots of replability with expansions and a good cooperative game.

I purchased this game based on all the positive reviews and since I like deck-building and the Alien movies. Note that I play the game solo. I played the first mission (of 4 missions, 1 for each Alien movie) 2-handed and absolutely loved it, even though I lost twice.

The theme comes through in a very strong way in this game. I am eagerly anticipating beating the mission and progressing to the next 3 movies. If you like the movies, and you like deck-building, I absolutely recommend it.

There is a random element to the setup and card shuffle and there are many characters to choose from, so i can imagine good replay value. Only negative is that you will need 2-3 hours sorting the cards once you open the box.

I recommend you put on your favorite Alien movie to get you in the mood while you sort the cards.

With this pack, we are introduced to the new ‘Alliance’ keyword. Any card with ‘Alliance’ allows any player to contribute assets to pay its cost, which opens up new ways of building decks for multiplayer games.

War Machine himself is an interesting character for Marvel Champions as he regularly wants to flip to alter-ego in order to replenish his ammo counters. He has incredibly cheap events and one of the most powerful AoE cards in the game.

The Leadership aspect cards literally alter the entire game for Leadership players, providing new ways to play allies as well as remove them for huge hits. We also get Sidearm, a 1 cost basic upgrade that gives an ally +1 ATK and ranged.

This is a card that will see a lot of play in decks that love ally swarms. And makes Yondu a potent force with his lack of consequential damage when attacking. The Team-Up card with Iron Man is nearly broken, allowing the hero to search their deck and for a tech upgrade (which is basically everything War Machine and Iron Man have) put it into play and ready both Iron Man and War-Machine.

This is an important pack for the Marvel Championship game, so even if you aren’t a huge fan of War Machine it’s worth getting for the Leadership cards alone.

Warmachine is war-some (does that work as a play on awesome?) pack and will likely be an addition to most people that own the game. He comes with a pre-built deck containing leadership aspect cards and his cards are very interesting.

One of the unique characteristics of Warmachine is that when changing to hero form you get 5 tokens which you can use, in addition to the cost of the card, to unleash strong attacks against the villain and its minions.

I played Warmachine vs standard Rhino and defeated him within a few turns, I am looking forward to taking on other villains. Thank you Zatu for your prompt delivery, and great service as always.

War Machine is a monster. If you like aggression decks he’s got it in spades. If you want to round him out and try a justice deck it gives him some versatility since most of his hero cards deal damage.

Ammo tokens are a fun mechanic and he’s a pretty straight forward character to figure out.

If you’ve ever been curious enough to get into the Arkham Horror LCG, this is the way to do it. Everything you need to play with up to four people, new artwork, upgraded tokens, a bag to keep the Chaos tokens in, and the best part – incredible storage.

For the people who already have the older core game and/or everything else, it’s largely your situation. I found myself increasingly upset at the original storage problem for the game. The old core boxes are terrible for storage and even with a Folded Space for two of them, I still hated how it was all situated.

Granted, you don’t need this thing at all, especially if you have everything anyway. It’s worth mentioning that all the other expansions will come with this style of box eventually, meaning storage is largely fixed.

I depended on the Go7Gaming Return to. storage to organize everything and that’s still certainly a great way to do it! I say that if you have everything, get this and start your uniform collection by giving away your old stuff to a friend!.

The definitive introduction to the core experience of the Arkham Horror LCG. The prebuilt decks leave something to be desired, but there are enough extra cards included that you can put together decks that perform reliably throughout the included mini-campaign.

The campaign itself is fun enough. I played through it 5 times with the core characters, just enough to get a feel for all the cards, before expanding my card pool with the Investigator expansions.

Took me a while to discover this one (first lcg). I absolutely love this game, simple to get into as a starter deck is pre made for each investigator. Great how to play guide, all you need to start your adventures! Will be buying some expansions soon as it soooo addictive.

5 stars!.

We’ve played about 10 times now, and it’s ok. The Mouse is definitely milking the franchise. The gameplay is the worst out of the three Villainous brands, but it could be ok once every couple of months when you need to play something different.

The characters don’t seem well thought out with ambition/credits. There are some fate cards that can completely ruin a person’s game. Vehicles seemed fun, but are very wonky, hard to get rid of and can limit hand sizes way too early.

With trying to shorten the length of the games, they cut out too many things that make Villainous fun. Having only five villains was a let down too. It gets a resounding meh.

We really enjoy this Villianous! Some characters are easier than others, but that is good when playing with our kids. The cards and screen grabs are fun to compare to the movies and shows. The choice to do “space speckled” movers was poor, but it’s another conversation about how bad Darth Vader and Grievous look and what was the company thinking?!? Even though Star Wars has a different set of power and new ambition tokens, we have combined it with play with Disney villains and have enjoyed it and found play to be smooth as there are still separate fate decks fir each villian.

This is a very fun game! My wife and I have the Disney Villianous game and all the expansions so when I saw they had a Star Wars one I had to buy it. Any Star Wars fan should love this game and any fan of strategy games will have fun as well but they may not understand the characters and terminology.

Other reviewers have said the pieces didn’t look right and maybe we just had good luck but our piece looked great! I highly recommend Star Wars Villianous and any other Villianous game for that matter.

This set is worth the price (Though I play 40k so my measure of what a dollar is worth is a bit skewed. ) The droids are a bit finnicky to put together due to small joints and the arms and weapons all needing to be connected at the same time, but they are some of the most posable minis i’ve gotten.

The clones are less posable but much easier to put together. The instructions don’t seem clear at first, but after I started actually using them it was easy enough for me to put together all the minis without them due to how clear the sprues themselves are.

Fun game, easier to learn than 40k and works well when accompanied with X-wing, which in turn works well with Armada. Put all three together and you have a week-long tabletop war sim. Regarding the armies in this box specifically, droids are the hardest army in the game since much of their effectiveness comes from positioning and working with the rules rather than raw stats.

Piddly shooting, piddly armor, but if you can get them in the right places and chain an order through the entire army it makes up for all the previous lost games. On top of that you get characters like Grevious and Dooku.

Clones are of course cool, simple but cool especially with the moving sidecar on the speeder. Painting both is easy and quick with room for detailed work if that’s what you go for. I can’t wait for both armies to get more heavy vehicle support so battles with all the wild clone wars vehicles can be a reality.

A fun set that gives you everything you need to start out in the game. Having a mix of the model on sprues and the old models in a bag, none the less have found it ok to put together with no warping or damaged parts for the bagged models and the sprues been easy to understand.

All in all a good starter set and great value for money even before the store discount is taken in to consideration.

Already on opening the box, everything is neatly separated, and sorted, the minis and their sprues, the tokens and game guide, and all the additional game supplies. The models themselves are excellently sculpted, which is something to pull off with the rather skeletal B1’s, but they come out, and assemble, gorgeously The clones, while coming in bags rather than on sprues, are also delightfully simple, and look amazing If you have some money, and want to get into a new tabletop warhame, i would definitely suggest this one if you’re a fan of the clone wars.

The product is a great deal for what’s inside, I would recommend this to anyone who loves Pokémon cards, 12 packs for €54.99 is a great deal

Great value for money, cheaper than an elite trainer box with more packs inside and exclusive promo cards

Great product to start constructing your own decks in pokemon TCG.

I have now played against this deck and can confirm it is green/blue but behaves rather more blue than green. Will appeal to sneaky blue players who enjoy shutting down their opponents with instants and dispels.

Some surprising combos in there. Never trust a blue player with unspent mana at the end of their go. They are up to something.

The 2020 challenger decks are awesome. Challenger decks can be hit and miss in terms of card value and how functional the decks are. But the 2020 set are right on the mark in both cases. 3 of the 4 decks were competitive straight out of the box, and the 4th deck while needing work, comes with on of the best commander cards ever printed! Totally worth the money for the set.

Product: The challenger decks are fun and they’re a great way to get a jumpstart into the game of Magic. These decks provide a little stronger and more consistent gameplay than other products such as duel decks.

I’d recommend doing a bit more research if keeping up with standard and FNM is what you have in mind, though. The Collector Store: These guys are great. I’ve received fast shipping from them consistently and everything I’ve ordered has arrived safely.

I’ve never had the need to contact them, so I can’t really speak to the customer service beyond what I’ve said above.

If you need more Flesh and Blood in your life, Crucible of War is a great set to buy. It’s a supplemental set that will give you more cards for each hero out there, rather than focusing on a specific 3 or 4 hero types.

There are less cards per pack than there are in other sets, but you still get some great cards out of these packs.

Product got to me amazingly fast!! AAA+ Amazing company to do business with. Friendly and supportive staff. Well done BOARD GAMER. Keep up the good work. I look forward to continuous business with you in the future as well.

Sincerely Nigel Glasson.

Wow Stranger things and funko have outdone themselves here. What a blast from the past in a modern day world. Grabbing all four is a must. Great Job All Round! A must for the collection

Great purchase however the main deck is newer than the add on and so some cards in this pack dont actually apply anymore and can’t be used… 🙁 Other than that! Good!!

This is a great expansion. Somewhat overpowered cards, which is ok.

It is the board game! haha. Complete in all it’s glory and it’s a lot of glory! I didn’t know what I getting myself into as I’ve never played a boardgame like this or even know what it was about, but the hype got to me.

Did some research and felt like I knew what I was getting myself into but it can be a lot to take in. If you don’t know what this game is about I would suggest a little research. If still intrigue, and I hope you will be, then take the plunge.

FYI: They have released an “extra” that maybe purchased separately, which are removable stickers that you use as you play. Highly recommend if you plan on replaying. I believe these might be for the 1st and 2nd edition of the game.

There’s so much game that the removable stickers might not be necessary, unless you absolutely want to restart everything, but that will be your decision.

Excellent game for someone who consistently wants to get play an ongoing campaign of a game, either solo (you can play alone) or with a group of friends (up to four can play). The primary mechanic of the game produces very strategic gameplay- basically on your turn you can play two cards, which have an action on the top half and an action on the bottom half (movement, attacks, disabling traps, healing, etc).

and you are only allowed to use the top of one card, and the bottom of the other card, which means you are always having to pick carefully since every choice means you’re not getting to choose something else.

Careful choices will yield success as you battle your different hero character types through a variety of dungeons, built out of a pile of interlocking map parts. The bigger draw about what makes Gloomhaven special is the campaign.

Each game you play is only one battle in the ongoing, overarching game, as you gain money and level up your characters over the course of multiple sessions of gameplay, and eventually achieve character goals that allow you to retire your current character and unlock new material for the game.

Aside from sealed envelopes with mystery content, there are six starter classes to choose from but another TEN that are sealed in boxes. I do not know what they all are, as we have not played enough yet to unlock more than one, but we found it exciting to experience having a game where I don’t know all the surprises it has to unveil yet.

So if you enjoy dungeon crawl or strategy games, and want to play it with a group for a long time, enjoy some light story elements stringing together your dungeon adventures, and slowly but surely unlock secret boxes and envelopes with more content, this is a solid recommendation.

Caveats- I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone who is looking for a casual party game with pals that they might pull out every couple of months, due to the learning curve of the game and the ongoing campaign nature.

I found it best to run a solo session myself to get at least somewhat familiar with the rules before I played with my friends, rather than get stressed out trying to play the game straight out of the box with the rulebook.

This is the internet, so if you want more information use google, but try to avoid spoiling yourself. I find the Gloomhaven community is pretty good overall about keeping things vague (ie referring to unlockable classes by their symbol rather than their names, ie “three spears”, “sun”, or “two-minis” class, to avoid spoiling).

It’s hard to summarize a review for this game, because some things are really great and others are absolutely terrible. GOOD – The general concept of a highly modular dungeon crawler game with a Legacy-style persistent world and a novel style of tactical combat is a good one – Beautiful artwork – With certain reservations, the card-based combat system is both very fresh and very fun – The amount of content included is mind-blowing.

I’ve heard some groups got over 200 hours of play out of the base set, and I believe them BAD – My friends and I like board games, but anyone who is not an ultra-hardcore gamer need not apply here. The rules are very, very, very complex and detailed.

Unless you watch like a hawk you can regularly expect to forget to draw cards or apply effects or alter your damage calculations when you are technically supposed to, which makes it very frustrating if you want to play correctly and not cheat.

– It takes FOREVER to set up, especially the first few rounds. Block off at least an hour for your first game to do this. Overall the ratio of time spent setting up/taking down to playing is probably the worst I’ve ever seen.

– The theme is meh. Pretty generic fantasy stuff, with a Warcraft-style option to be “good guys” or “bad guys” even though both plot threads play out pretty similarly. Because you can pick your characters, it means your characters don’t actually get to grow or evolve (except for their stats) or have arcs of their own, as far as the game’s plot is concerned you will always be just a gang of generic mercenaries with a “Reputation” score and not much else.

– The box weighs like 25 lbs and is a pain to carry around. – Personally I thought the combat gets kind of same-y and static over time, especially since you only get one new card per level (and it takes several sessions to level up).

You’re basically using the same set of ~10 cards over and over and over. I respect what the designers were going for, but I think they went too far on the side of adding mechanics and complexity to the point that the game became unwieldy and flawed.

They almost should’ve made it a computer game if they wanted this level of detail. But if you are willing to put in a lot of time dealing with the rules, I could see a group of hardcore gamers having fun with this one.

The value on the Tau Start Collecting box is amazing. It’s worth it alone for the fire warriors and crisis suits, but then you get the ethereal as well. I’m tempted to pick up another box.

A great good value starter kit that gives a good mix of models to build up a Tau force. You end up with more than 20 figures-drones, warriors and a commander. Anyone new to Warhammer or sci-fi wargames in general will find this a good place to start.

The start collecting sets from Games Workshop are a great buy and the Tau box doesn’t disappoint. It’s a great starting point for new collectors. The models look great and go together fairly easily. The Crisis suits have a few fiddly bits but nothing terrible.

Another great looking product from GW. Their prices might be crazy but their toys look great.
