User blog comment:DetroitSteel/Marvel and DC Based Board Game/@comment-8231491-20130416183650

The game would play would revolve around two factions, composed of various characters from the DC and Marvel Universes. Each with the goal of destroying all the members of the opposing faction, their base or a variety of other goals that will be integrated later. Players would create their factions based on the characters they have, game play type, and various rules for each game type. Each team could ideally have up to 8 characters maximum; with bonuses given for creating real comic teams. (A team with say; Mr. Fantastic, Human Torch, The Thing and Invisible Woman would get some sort of team bonus for assembling the Fantastic Four.)

Each character would have a companion card that gives players information about base statistics, attacks, defense and a variety of other information pertinent to each characters game play. As characters would level up, they would be granted the ability to access new cards for their factions characters. Ergo, each character has a "deck" of cards specifically for them. There would also be utility cards that would effect the game in various ways.

The game board would be a tangible version, similar to the ones found in games such as League of Legends and Dota. The game would not use spaces, but rather a movement system like that in Warhammer; and characters would based this from their movement statistic. The board would be used to conducted the entire game, with the potential for a Game Master to be incorporated; so that players can also play through different scenarios. (Such as the GM controlling a new collaboration of villains, while the players control only heroes.) This could introduce unique situations that may not be playable with just two people. At most, 16 players could partake in a single game, 8 per team.

That's really as far as I've gotten. I want the game to have true strategic depth, and a way to control battles beyond the random toss of dice. That's why I need help, to make it a truly long-lasting and interesting game.
