Marvel Legends Showdown
Marvel Legends Showdown is a collectible tabletop game in which the primary component is action figures and cards. It was a collaboration between Upper Deck Entertainment and Toy Biz.
The game was played on at least a 3×4 grid of Panel cards. Panel cards broke into two categories; Locations and Plot Twist The goal was to move around the Panel card grid and knock out your opponents character with Punches, Kicks, or shooting them with an included projectile launchers. Once you did three damage to a character he/she was out. The more characters on each side, the larger the Panel grid had to be.
It was released in 2005 with two starters and two waves of five boosters each. The set was renamed Legends Showdown to tie it in to the popular Marvel Legends figures. The first two starters and booster sets were re-released with the new name, plus 2 new starters, 3 rider packs, and two new waves of boosters. Toy Biz changed its name to Marvel Toys and then sold the rights to all Marvel action figure properties to Hasbro. Marvel Legends Showdown was not one of the product lines that transferred over.
The Starters included 2 figures, 2 projectile launchers, 3 power cards for each figure, 12 Panel cards, and 2 dice.
Boosters included a figure, a projectile launcher, 3 power cards for that character, 3 power cards for other characters in the wave, and 1 panel card.
All characters had at least 6 Power Cards, but some may have had up to 10 or 12!
