    (from back fine-print)

    “See offer inside for exclusive content redeemable in the mobile game MCOC. Limited time only”
    Also seems to refer to Marvel Insider Rewards, so that might have been the method used to give you that something in MCOC game.

    Wonder what that exclusive content was ? I assume maybe one of the Champs, probably as a 4* (the Vision in board game looks like the “common” one, so maybe it was Kabam created Guilly or Civil Warrior ?)
    @SpideyFunko , do you recall ?

    And I remember the “Art of the BattleRealm” book from back then (see link OP included at top). Think Kabam had a contest giveaway for a copy of the book at one point.
    But totally forgot that a game existed as well (and don’t recall anyone ever providing pics of the game).

    I won it a couple years ago at Christmas time, along with a card, autographed Funko, and a napsack. Haven't opened it. It's in my display cabinet.

    happy to talk in-depth about it if anyone is curious

    I could get it (I think) for about USD20 but it is going to be like a MCOC collector item rather than a game to play.
    But the review on it was real bad, the sixth player could get KO without playing a single round based on official rules.
    Is that even right?

    I guess if the other five players ganged up on them and the starting conditions were just right, it’s possible. But I’ve also seen that happen in a game of Risk, although technically speaking the first person eliminated from a game of Risk is not necessarily the person I would call the “loser.”

    It is not sticker but cut-out figures attached to the transparent stand and used as some moving pieces like in monopoly.

    the “exclusive” stuff was like an ultimate crystal and some other random things that made sense when the game first launched
