Hey guys! It’s Serena, back again.

This time, we’re talking about what I take to a HeroClix tournament. HeroClix is a collectible miniatures game based primarily on characters from Marvel and DC comics, but occasionally other IPs are added, such as TMNT, Beetlejuice, and even Dungeons & Dragons. All the figures in the game have a dial in their base that clicks as you turn it, revealing the stats and powers of the particular figure. Each game piece has its own point value, and each tournament has a point total your team needs to achieve, usually 300 or 400 points. Gameplay consists of each player using several actions per turn, one for every 100 points used. For example, a 300-point tournament uses three actions per player. The game continues until one team is completely KO’d or until the timer runs out, at which point the winner is decided by whoever knocked out the most points.
