Find events near youMarvel: Crisis Protocol is a two-player tactical miniatures game, out since 2019, where you build a squad of Marvel characters and fight cinematic dust-ups across a table strewn with terrain. This box hands you the full Guardians roster: ten miniatures covering Star-Lord, Gamora, Nebula, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Drax, Ronan the Accuser, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Yondu and Nova, plus all the cards, dice and measuring tools one player needs to get stuck in. For a starter set, ten characters is generous, and the Guardians give you a ready-made, thematically tight team rather than a random grab-bag.
Landing the same day are two Dark Dimension terrain packs. One adds a single sculpted piece of a beast clawing its way into our reality, the other a set of five warped-Earth pieces with a one-shot card that bends the rules for a game.

See how it worksCrisis Protocol has always sold itself on making each fight feel ripped from the comics, and the Guardians lean into that with a scrappy, mismatched crew. At GBP 99.99 it is not a small buy, but as a way to start the game with a full faction in one box, it is a sensible place to jump in. The set is up for pre-order now ahead of its 24 July release.
