Marvel Champions: The Card Game Image: Fantasy Flight Games / Marvel While you can romp through this dark story with multiple friends, it’s best played in a quieter, more intimate setting for dramatic effect. The action of this adventure is determined by a flip book, with multiple chapters diving deep into Stuffed Fables mythology, as players rely on each other (sharing dice, protection, and skills) to tackle each puzzle in the game. As a ‘stuffie’ each player will work through various challenging scenarios, utilising their small size and combat capabilities to jump through hurdles, take down creatures, journey through dungeons, and survive terrifying circumstances. Stuffed Fables is a whimsical storybook-based adventure board game where players work together as odd little ‘stuffie’ creatures who are stuck in a nightmarish world. The base game includes five major scenarios, but players can also expand this offering with a number of extra packs – including the excellent Redviewexpansion, which focusses on strange things happening to a group of kids in Maine in the 1980s (just like The Snallygaster Situation, there are shades of Stephen King here). As time goes on, more clues are presented, with a slowly-unfolding story being revealed as players discover new secrets, and scan special QR codes within the Chronicles of Crime app. In this hybrid digital and physical board game, players will put on their best Sherlock Holmes by analysing clues presented in crime scenarios, and working towards a logical conclusion.
