Welcome to Issue 264 of the Crazy Gang, a traveling group of fools who do a podcast about Marvel Champions, a Living Card Game by Fantasy Flight Games. Here we barely care about anything other than the Encounter Sets. Weâll poorly discuss those completely understood characters, rightly labeled Villains, and their various gags and shenanigans to prank humanity and rob the planet blind, as well as those so-called heroes intent on doing anything they want because, hey it's Marvel and who cares!
In this April Fools show we look at the modular set Crazy Gang, AND we look at 3 preview cards for Shuri's Nemesis (no joke!)
