About the game

Marvel: Crisis Protocol is a tabletop miniatures game where players assemble dream teams of iconic Marvel heroes and villains and battle it out on interactive terrain that can be thrown, crashed into, and destroyed. The Core Set includes ten detailed plastic miniatures - from Captain America and Iron Man to Ultron and Red Skull - along with destructible terrain pieces, team tactics cards, and all the tokens and tools needed to play. Combat uses dice rolling and variable character powers, with movement and positioning around the shattered cityscape mattering as much as raw stats. It's designed for two players looking for a competitive, highly thematic superhero skirmish game.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's team sees Marvel: Crisis Protocol as one of the most accessible entry points into hobby miniatures gaming thanks to its recognizable Marvel license and interactive terrain. The destructible environment mechanic gives fights a satisfying sense of chaos and spectacle. Painting and assembly add an extra hobby layer some players will love and others will want to skip. It's a strong pick for two players who enjoy tactical skirmish combat with a big superhero flavor.

What we like

  • Recognizable Marvel characters bring instant thematic appeal.
  • Destructible terrain adds tactical depth and spectacle to battles.
  • High-quality, detailed miniatures reward hobby painters.
  • Supports a competitive tournament scene for dedicated players.

Keep in mind

  • Requires assembly and painting for the full experience.
  • Two-player-only limits group flexibility.
  • Ongoing cost of expansions can add up over time.

Who it's for

Best for two players, ages 14+, who enjoy tactical miniatures combat and are fans of the Marvel universe.
