MARVEL CRISIS PROTOCOL MONSTERS UNLEASHED

Marvel: Crisis Protocol is a tabletop game that lets players battle as and against characters from the comic book publisher's iconic roster of heroes and rogues. Build a dream team of miniature game piece figures to win a bout on a game board by combining bold tactics and cunning strategy to overwhelm your competition. Now in addition the Marvel comic book heroes like Captain America and villains like Ultron, this Halloween season the game is adding monsters into the fray.

Up for preorder now with a scheduled November 1, 2024 release is a Monsters Unleashed character pack. Dracula, Werewolf by Night, N’Kantu the Living Mummy, and Frankenstein’s Monster, bring supernatural characters to your Marvel: Crisis Protocol tabletop battles. Marvel: Crisis Protocol - Monsters Unleashed includes a miniature game piece figure for each character (4 miniatures), 1 One-Shot Card, 4 Character Stat Cards, 4 Team Tactic Cards and 1 Punch Board. Please note the miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted.

Cursed with eternal life as one of the night-dwelling undead, Dracula claims the title of Lord of the Vampires through cunning, strategy, and acts of unrelenting evil.

Assembled from corpses and jolted to life, Frankenstein’s Monster is many things—intelligent, sensitive, immortal—but mostly, he’s a patchwork man seeking his place in the world.

During the day, Jack Russell appears as a man, but when the sun sets and the moon rises, he becomes Werewolf by Night!

Known as the Living Mummy, N’Kantu is an adventurer, wanderer, and agent of the Egyptian god of death and rebirth, Anubis.

Create a dynamic setting for Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, N'Kantu and Werewolf by Night to battle in during Marvel: Crisis Protocol bouts with the Tomb of Dracula terrain pack. This terrain pack features a cutaway of Dracula's iconic gothic castle reminiscent of classic horror movies. It includes additional one-shot cards for new modes of play.

You need to purchase a Marvel: Crisis Protocol core box to play the game which is available at amazon.com. Additional characters and terrain expansion packs like Monsters Unleashed and Tomb of Dracula can be purchased to enhance your Marvel: Crisis Protocol gaming experiences.

POPULAR TABLE TOP GAME INSPIRES ANIMATED TV SHOW

Corvus Belli’s popular table top game Infinity, an intense wargame of counter-espionage set in a sci-fi, high-tech future universe, is the inspiration for a new animated television series courtesy of renowned producer/director Jay Oliva, the animator responsible for nine Warner Bros. films, including the two-part Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Produced by Lex+Otis Studios and TeamTO, the series – Infinity: Paradise Lost – features the vocal talents of Raffi Barsoumian (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Seal Team, The Code), Abubakr Ali (Grendel, Law & Order: Organized Crime), Emily O’Brien (Days of Our Lives, Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham), Nick E. Tarabay (Spartacus, Star Trek Into Darkness) and Roshelle Simpson (Gather by the Ghost Light). The show will feature an original score composed by Frederik Weidmann (Star Trek: Picard).

Infinity, the game and its animated series, finds mankind nearly 200 years into an alternate future where humanity has departed Earth and colonized multiple star systems. While there is a shared, albeit tense unity among these planetary factions, conflicts still exist as great nations attempt to maintain control of resources in order to further enhance their grip on power. Aliens are believed to have gone extinct in these star systems – until they begin to arrive. This is where Infinity begins.

“Most table top games are either big armies or smaller models, but Infinity is more like a skirmish game with tons of terrain, like you’re playing on a little diorama – and that visual side really drew me to the game and inspired the animation, Oliva communicated to ageekdaddy.com. There’s a cyberpunk aspect, but also a very Ghost in the Shell feel with holograms and futuristic weaponry. The influences include Dune and some classic sci-fi of the past. It all translated very easily to animation.”
