It's been…4 weeks since we started this </Barenaked ladies>. Like most of you, I've been locked up in the house, only going out for the essentials. First of all, if you work in any of the fields keeping us afloat during this time, thank you so much! Also, my heart goes out to everyone who's having trouble during this time, whether it be loss of job, dealing with family issues, etc. I've been lucky in that my job situation is fairly stable, but I know that is not the case for a large portion of the world right now.

February was a very busy month for me, so I didn’t get a whole lot of board gaming in. Especially when it comes to the Marvel Champions card game from Fantasy Flight Games (FFG). I did get a chance to go back to North Carolina and play the game with my dad, but we ended up playing Rhino again since we convinced my wife to play (that’s a story for another time). I was fortunate enough to get a copy of The Wrecking Crew scenario expansion, it wasn’t until earlier this week that I was able to get it to the table and try it out.

Unless this is your first visit to this website, you are probably familiar with the fact that I am a big fan of the board games made by Fantasy Flight Games, specifically their cooperative Living Card Games (LCGs): Arkham Horror the Card Game and Marvel Champions the Card Game. Both of these games come in smaller “core” boxes, but with the vast waves of expansions that FFG is known for putting out, these types of games quickly outgrow these boxes.
