We’ve been really enjoying Comic Hunters. Think of it as a more beefed up version of Sushi Go where you will be drafting cards in different ways to create a valuable comic collection. You score points based on the size of your comic collection, what features they have (Is it a #1 issue? Does it feature a character in a new costume?), and which characters are most desirable. If you like the theme of collecting comics, or if you’re a Marvel fan you’ll enjoy this one. Each card also depicts a different comic cover, so I imagine it was a bit of a nightmare getting this game licensed with that much artwork. You’ll need a bigger sized table especially for the Convention draft where you have to set out a 5x5 grid of cards.
The production quality could be better. I’ve heard some nightmare stories where people had miscut or duplicate cards, but my cards all looked good. The actual card quality is quite poor and definitely won’t survive constant shuffling, so I would STRONGLY recommend using card sleeves (I use standard Ultra Pro Pro Mattes). The tokens are kind of flimsy, made out of thin cardboard, but they are serviceable for what they do as they just sit on the board. The game box was a little banged up as it just had clear stickers keeping the box closed as opposed to full shrink wrap. Keep in mind though, that I bought this game for $33 Canadian…which is kind of a steal for a boardgame. Sure, I would have gladly payed $5-10 more if it had better components and card quality, but I think it’s still definitely worth it for comic fans who enjoy drafting and set collection.
