Prepare yourselves, mortal heroes! You have been tested before by the likes of Green Goblin or the Wrecking Crew, and you’ll soon be able to take on Hydra with The Rise of Red Skull campaign expansion. But you have never faced a villain with the futuristic technology, awe-inspiring intellect, and time-altering powers of Kang the Conqueror!
Few villains have challenged you in the same way as the indomitable Kang will in The Once and Future Kang scenario pack for Marvel Champions: The Card Game. You’ll face Kang in the present day and across the multifarious timestreams, battling his incarnations through the centuries in a scenario that’s unlike any other. With expert versions of Kang to swap in if you’re looking for a greater challenge and three modular encounter sets that you can pull into this scenario or any other, The Once and Future Kang promises to push you and your fellow heroes to their limits.
Battle Across Time
In any scenario, the villain that you face and your friends by your side have been the constant factors. No matter where your battle takes place or what treacherous schemes are thrown in your direction, you can count on having your fellow heroes battling alongside you as you work together to KO the villain as quickly as possible. But you have never faced a villain quite like Kang before.
Kang does not reveal his temporal powers immediately—in fact, for the first stage, you face a relatively straightforward brawl against Kang the Conqueror. Though he may lead the assault with Future Weapons and a Temporal Shield, at least you know what to expect.
As the second stage begins, the players are cast loose through time and space, each to their own game area!
Everything changes once you beat Kang’s first stage, however. Reeling back, The Master of Time uses his powers to separate the heroes across time and space! One hero may be thrown into The Chronopolis, while another hero falls through dimensions to The Realm of Rama-Tut. For every hero, you’ll be drawn into your own play area and dimension. In every dimension, a new version of Kang waits for that hero—whether it’s Kang as Iron Lad, the Scarlet Centurion, or some other iteration of the villain.
Pushing forward, as soon as a hero defeats Kang in their own time and space, they join another game area, teaming up with another hero to defeat Kang in that game area! Only once the heroes are all back together will they be able to return to the present day and begin their final showdown against Kang the Conqueror.
Throughout the scenario, Kang will use his Temporal powers to weaken the heroes, calling on oppressive obligations, ranging from Stolen Memories to Depowered. Three modular encounter sets, which can be added into this scenario or any other scenario, add even more replayability options. You may find yourself battling against a Tyrannosaurus Rex that’s been unleashed in Central Park. Kang can haunt you in any scenario with the Master of Time modular set, or if you’re really looking for a challenge, you could even test yourself against the full might of Kang’s personal guard, the Anachronauts.
A New Villain Rises
There’s a new villain on the way for Marvel Champions: The Card Game, and it may be the greatest adversity your heroes have yet faced. It’s a fight across time for the future of mankind… and all other possible futures! Do you have what it takes to defeat Kang?

A multiplayer must but not so good for solo 16 October 2020 | Jack
Firstly, next day delivery from Megalopolis on release day- service is as good as usual.
Regarding the product, this is a great addition to the now growing pool of villains and are some interesting encounter sets with the time travel theme that can modify your own play experiences. The unique Stage 2 split is a must have experience for 2+ players but falls flat in solo. I’d recommend even playing on your own against Kang to play ‘2 handed’ with two heroes and two decks. Overall a great product.

Best villain pack so far. 15 October 2020 | Conor
This pack comes with a new scenario, facing Kang and his temporal abilities. The pack has new and innovative mechanics, making it unique and delightful to play. It comes with three new modular encounter sets, one of which is kang himself.
As a lesser known villain to me, i wasn't sure what to expect from kang, but so far, he has been well worth the purchase.
