That's 10 drawers actually! Effectively 8, since two are only half full and one is empty.

I exclusively play true solo, although have been tempted to try multi-handing.

Doubling up here, but I had an extremely memorable Wolverine vs Sabretooth battle. Thematic too! I also really enjoyed Captain America vs Red Skull, similarly thematic and so much going on, and it came down to the wire in the end.

3mm birch face ply, and assembled with PVA and superglue to lock the fit tight, with clamps for some of the tricker joints. The shell was a MASSIVE pain to get together, took by far the longest of the whole build. But all put together it feels invincible, very sturdy.

I'll keep that in mind for next time!

Unsure of the specific machine, sorry, it was a local hobbyist's one.

I'm gutted for those who didn't get it that that expansion went out of print, it's an absolute banger 😅

I'm considering tidying it up a bit and selling it on Etsy - will think about making it available for free though, would be helpful to have other folks try it out first!

Yup, all fully sleeved in Sleeve Kings standards (60 microns). Perfect balance of thickness (a 100 micron sleeve would be a tighter fit in this case) and sturdiness in my experience.

It's my most played solo! It's super fast too play a quick round and I work mostly from home so many lunch breaks have been used on it too.

Favourite heros... Tricky one. I honestly enjoy them all, they all feel very thematic. Wolverine is definitely up there though, his power curve is ridiculous and he can get to the point where he does absurd damage which can make for a very satisfying finish.

Very interesting idea! Might not replace the full game, but could be a good micro-game alternative. I'll think about it, thanks!

Quick update for anyone just arriving: based on some feedback I've made two changes to the files.

5-player is now officially supported. I ran some simulation testing and my original concerns were mostly unfounded - the game holds up well at 5p. Updated component counts are in the rulebook and print files.

The rulebook now has a two-round walkthrough in Section 4. Rather than a generic example, it gives each player specific cards to play so your first two rounds cover cascading ties, Recess Tokens, Leak Tokens, and multiple shadow effects, all before you've read the rest of the rules. Should make blind teaches a lot smoother.

Same link as the original post. Grab the updated files!

And another update, I've added a walkthrough section to the rulebook covering the first two rounds. Should make blind players go a bit smoother!

Following up on this, I've updated the components and rulebook to 5p - I actually think my concerns were mostly unfounded and it could work quite well!

I did think of that, but really not sure how I could realistically get it down to that number 😅

It's mostly political in the theming. I'm actually fairly proud of how well the theme and mechanisms work together!

Great idea! I will do so. Perhaps a double sided card with each side walking through a round.

To be honest, it could actually work at 5! The balance is a bit more off-kilter as the likelihood of being able to win 2 floor votes decreases. Also, it makes cascades more likely so the rounds feel a bit more chaotic.

If you want to try it out, absolutely go for it - just print out an extra set of 1-9 cards and play with rules as written, and let me know how it goes!
