I played my first ever game of Heroclix this past Saturday. It didn't exactly go well. You see, we only had the pre-made teams that my friend put together (they all belonged to him as I don't have any of my own in Japan). Luckily he had a few DC teams, so I chose a team consisting of Wonder Woman, the Flash, and Batman & Robin. The other two -- original thinkers both -- took teams of X-Men.
My third friend chose to play referee for us newbies which left me and my team of DC super-heroes sandwiched in between two teams of angsty mutants. I'm sure you can guess how it all turned out. Some highlights:
- Four X-Men piling onto Wonder Woman, unable to bring her down for many turns as she tears chunks out of Wolverine.
- A good laugh from everyone when one friend asked whether or not his Professor X could climb the stairs on the game mat.
- A good laugh from me when the Flash outwitted Professor X every turn and punched him in the head repeatedly.
- Robin hitting Colossus with batarangs.
- An entire team of X-Men chasing Robin around the board as he nimbly leapt from rooftop to rooftop.
