Tired of Social Distancing? Try a Virtual Game Day!

I can't believe that it's been 10 months since we went into lockdown. I know that things have loosened up a bit since then, but the virus is still out there and most places still have social distancing ordanances in place. Also, a lot of people just don't feel comfortable putting themselves out there with others regardless of what is allowed or not. 

All of this has had a huge effect on gaming and the gaming community. Many of us have continued gaming with our family or turned to solo gaming to keep the hobby alive, but what about those game night gatherings or group game days? I recently hosted a virtual game day for several of my friends and it went over extremely well so I thought that I'd share the experience with all of you for some inspiration.

The Wrecking Crew Lightning Review


Designer:
 Caleb Grace
Artist: various
Publisher: Fantasy Flight Games 
Year Published: 2020
No. of Players: 1-4 (best played: 2)

Ages: 14+
Playing Time: 45-90 minutes

The second scenario expansion released for Marvel Champions LCG offers a unique gaming experience as your heroes are tasked to prevent the members of the "Wrecking Crew" from breaking out of prison. Instead of fighting against one villain, you will face Wrecker, Thunderball, Piledriver and Bulldozer. Each villain has their own Encounter deck and do a great job teaming up. Table set-up is magnificent as you will lay out 4 villains, 4 life dials, 4 side schemes, 4 encounter decks and, later, 4 discard piles. 

I played this scenario with 1 hero and with 2 heroes (solo) and the difficulty level scales up pretty nicely. The more heroes you have on your side, the harder it is to beat this crew. To win this game, your heroes must find inventive ways to team-up against these super-criminals.
