Players can mix and match their teams how they see fit, and build a squad of heroes, villains, or even both. However, once you are up and running, the gameplay is fun with lots of fast and frequent combat. This is due to the fact that the minis for Marvel Crisis Protocol need to be painstaking assembled-Iron Man comes in 15 pieces that have to be glued together-before you can even start playing. This skirmish game would probably be a bit higher on the list if the cost of admission was a little bit lower. This cooperative game has been supported with tons of expansions over the years so there is no shortage of options for players to keep the gameplay fresh. Even though it’s since been dethroned from the top spot, the gameplay itself is easy to learn (draw a card, play a card) and features a wide variety of unique heroes for the players to control. If I had made this list half a decade ago, Sentinels of the Multiverse would have easily taken the top spot as it was the best option in superhero gaming for a long time. The only game on the list that is not based on a licensed IP. While the random nature of the booster packs in Dice Masters won’t be for everyone, the actual gameplay itself is very well designed. Each player starts with a handful of dice, but can buy more throughout the game, building up their available options. Players field a team of superheroes represented by dice from their choice of DC or Marvel characters. This collectible dice building game was based off the much loved Quarriors system and has been well supported for years.

Funko Pop clearly isn’t afraid to try new things.

This title of goofy looking miniatures spreads a pretty far gamut of themes–from Harry Potter, to The Golden Girls, to even Kool-Aid Man. Funkoverse DC Strategy Gameĭebuting at Gen Con 2019 was the Funkoverse Strategy Game. So strap on your spandex and capes (or maybe you are in the NO CAPES! crowd) as we dive into the Top 10 Superhero Board games. Well fret no longer because as the movies have finally gotten entertaining thanks to Marvel Studios and Christopher Nolan, we also now have tabletop games of equal greatness.

Hollywood’s take on superheroes was laughable on the best of days (and they were not comedy movies), and the board game realm was regulated to regurgitated tiles like Marvel Monopoly or some trivial pursuit offshoot. There was a time when if you wanted to consume some superhero goodness, comic books were about all you had.
