Marvel Champions: The Card Game – Sinister Motives (Expansion)^*

Sinister Motives is a large expansion for Marvel Champions: The Card Game that brings the Spider-Verse to your table. The box adds two web-slinging heroes and a lineup of classic Spider-Man villains. It is made for players who already own the core set and want more heroes and enemies.

What's it about?

Everything here revolves around Spider-Man and his world. You take on one of the new heroes and face threats that any Spider-Man fan will recognize at once. One thing to know up front: this expansion is not a standalone game. You need the Marvel Champions core set to play.

New heroes and villains

• Ghost Spider and Spider-Man (Miles Morales) as two playable heroes, each with their own card pool.
• Classic villains including Sandman, Venom, and the infamous Sinister Six.
• New scenarios that pit you against these enemies in sequence.
• Fresh cards for your decks that mix well with other heroes too.

Who is it for?

For core-set owners who love Spider-Man and want new angles to explore. The box also plays nicely in two-player co-op. If you have never tried Marvel Champions, start with the core set first.

Conclusion

A solid expansion for committed Spider-Man fans and fans of the game. It delivers thematically rich scenarios and two appealing heroes. Without the core set, though, the box does nothing on its own.
