The Book of Spider-Man (Avengers Holiday Party)

[Arkham]

Interesting design. Cool to see another Avenger Marker version adding to the faction.

I think this might be how to word the 2nd power:

SECRET SANTA
After taking a turn with Spider-Man, you may place a Food Glyph from this card onto the card of an adjacent friendly figure with an Avengers Marker on their card. If you do, take an immediate turn with that figure and you may not take any additional turns.

Thanks for the wording suggestion, updated. I'm pretty happy with how this direction looks. This design is certainly something that started kinda as a joke, but ended up in a place that seems really fun and thematic.

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = HOLIDAY COOKIE
SUBTITLE = Sugar Rush

FOOD EQUIPMENT GLYPH
Before taking a turn with this figure, you may destroy this glyph to remove a Wound Marker from this figure's Army Card and add two to this figure's Move number for this turn.
______________________________

NAME = FRUIT CAKE
SUBTITLE = Dense Food

FOOD EQUIPMENT GLYPH
Before taking a turn with this figure you may destroy this glyph and choose one of the following effects:
• choose a figure within 3 clear sight spaces of this figure and roll a 20-sided die. If you roll a 12 or higher, inflict a wound on the chosen figure.
• until the end of this round, this figure cannot be moved by any means.
______________________________

NAME = EGGNOG
SUBTITLE = Drunken Resilience

FOOD EQUIPMENT GLYPH
At the start of any round you may destroy this glyph. If you do, this figure subtracts one from its Attack and Defense numbers for the remainder of the round, and if this figure would receive one or more wounds from an enemy figure's attack, special power, or leaving engagement attack, ignore one of those wounds.

Army Test
Map: Artic Redoubt
Units: Spidey Santa (170), Captain America, Quicksilver (Avengers), Stan Lee (700) VS Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Iron Fist (700)

Spoiler Alert!

Normal Attack Damage: Couple of wounds on the other Spidey

Holiday Party: Gave Cap a Marker, started with a cookie and eggnog

Secret Santa: Gave Cap the Eggnog during round 2 to move him up more and then gave Cap the cookie later, both were useful for Cap.

Both teams advance, the Fighters get better positioning due to the -1 move. Cap and Spidey team up to take down the opposing Spidey fairly quickly, even after Iron Fist healed him once. Luke then took out Spidey, but Cap and Quicksilver were able to work down Luke and Iron Fist due to all the saving Cap got from Quicksilver, Eggnog and Stan Lee. Was a nice little support army.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Stan Lee unwounded. Cap with 3 wounds. Quicksilver with 4 wounds.

___________________________________________________________

Army Test
Map: Artic Redoubt
Units: Spidey Santa (170), Captain America (II), Thor (Avengers), Wolverine (Avengers) (1100) VS Carnage (II), Shriek, Doppelganger, Carrion, Demogoblin (1100)

Spoiler Alert!

Normal Attack Damage: 3 wounds on Doppelganger

Holiday Party: Everyone got Markers, used Eggnog and Fruitcake here (to maybe counter Razor Web Slinger)

Secret Santa: Extra turn given to Thor twice

The bonding with Thor was nice, but obviously Spidey kinda pales in comparision to the god of thunder. Thor did fall fairly early to a really nasty turn from Carnage and the gang. Wolverine actually did a lot taking down Demogoblin and finishing off Doppelganger and Shriek. But in the end, Carnage was able to take the fight even through the Avengers resilence.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Carnage with 6 wounds, Carrion with 2 wounds.

___________________________________________________________

Army Test
Map: Artic Redoubt
Units: Spidey Santa (170), Ms. Marvel (Carol), Doctor Strange (Avengers), Hawkeye (I) (1000) VS Fantastic Four

Spoiler Alert!

Normal Attack Damage: Put 2 wounds on Invisible Woman.

Holiday Party: Started with a Cookie and Eggnog again.

Secret Santa: Gave Strange the Eggnog (was pretty nice to combo resilience with MD for one round) and Hawkeye took the cookie.

Felt close at the start, a couple of bad rolls for Leadership from the Fan 4, let the tipsy Avengers make it to the middle around the same time as the Fan 4. Spidey got a good hit in on Invisible Woman, but was promtly clobbered by Thing on the next turn. From there Human Torch was able to take down Ms. Marvel fairly quickly really swinging the battle into the Fan 4's favor.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Mister Fantastic with 4 wounds, Thing with 3 wounds.

I think 170 may be a tad high, the -1 move is a solid cost, I think 140 might be a better place to send him to public testing at, so I propose that.

[MrNobody]

Yea, will be fun to have a cheaper Avenger.

[Ronin]

yea

[Soundwarp SG-1]

yea

[Tornado]

Yea

[tcglkn]

This passes

One win and one loss here, pretty big both ways. I still think a slight boost to 150 may be needed here, but I'm liking how he's looking.
