What's Heroclix? Does anybody "play"? Is it cool?

 

Thanks,

Some dorky game based on Marvel characters. Hopefully no. Most likely, no.

Just when I thought you were cool Murph. I don't play Heroclix but I am a Warlord for Mage Knight and a Battlemaster for Mechwarrior: Dark Age.

 

Check this out: Wizkids

 

Kind of like D&D without all the mess.

D,

 

As Julian has already stated, HeroClix is a variation based on a miniatures game engine from a company called WizKids. They have several variations using the same rough gaming engine. Mage Knight, a fantasy roleplaying variation was the original and the HeroClix followed thereafter. There are Marvel, DC, and Indy Hero Clix, a variation based on Mech Warrior, another based on the Microsoft computer game, Crimson Skies, and a new one coming out soon with larger figures based on the Shadowrun roleplaying game.

 

I have myself looked into the game a bit and I'm going to teach my kids (and myself) to play in hopes that they'll give up those awful Yu-gi Oh cards. It's either Hero Clix or Magic the Gathering...anything but Yu-gi Oh...

Sorry, man.

Heroclix are very fun to play.

 

All it takes is one game and you get hooked.

I've heard it's a very addictive game and quite fun to play, though I haven't played myself. There's another game that is similar that uses robots (can't remember the name) that is more popular apparently.

Someone I talked to compared it to the old Marvel Super Heroes roleplaying game except all you do is fight it out.

Heroclix were a huge draw at the Wizard World East show last weekend. There were tons of people playing at the show.
