I think when you play the Price of Life card and remove the token you discard it. You get the power in lieu of the token. The card would say claim or move the token to Odin's vault if the Hela player got to keep it.
The common "house" variant on fate cards for Marvel is draw 2 choose 1 unless you draw one of the events. The Disney version sees you drawing 2 and choosing 1 so that you usually don't end up completely whiffing like Nikki did. Also, the game is largely "action optimization", which made some of Nikki's early moves hard to watch. Getting 1 out of 4 actions is really hard to recover from.
Nikki!! I feel your pain. Hubby and I played yesterday, him as Ultron and me as Thanos. Our game was very similar to yours. Everything was going in his favor and my game was going “knowhere”. Keep your head up, girl!
That's why I play with the classic fate system of revealing 2 Fate cards and choosing one to play. Sometimes you can hurt yourself by fating someone lol
According to the FAQs and errata I could find you cannot. Here is what I found in preparation to film this: "A Stone is Found: Playing as any Villain other than Thanos in a 2 Player Game - You must discard this card." In all honesty I feel a house rule in a two player game allowing you to draw 2 fate cards and choosing one would be how I would play this going forward. Thanks for the note and watching.-Lincoln
Ohhhhh Nikki P, this wasn’t your game! Link love the top, Nikki P awesome hair as always I’m green at the mo! However do I want this one next or do I want Wicked to the core still ........ hummmmm not sure.
Ouch, I think Disney villainous is just a little more streamlined and lighter. The balance means its less likely a player is completely destroyed and has more of a chance to win. Thematically this is cool, but mechanically I'm not sure, its almost too random.
Awful game thanos broken and op clearly Disney villainous is a great family game but this version is terrible sorry for Nikki that was painful to watch if a member of my family got trounced like that in a game they would never play board games again

@31:20 when black swan vanquishes the ally isn't she also discarded?
No, because A Taste of Cosmic Power stops Black Swan from being discarded as a result of the Vanquish action.
Excited to watch. Just played the original for the first time.

Man, poor Nikki! She got really dunked on by that fate deck!
Yeah I do like randomness in my games but the Fate deck seems to determine a lot in this game.
Yeah, the fate deck seems wayyy meaner in this game than it is in any Disney Villainous game/Expansion. Way more in your face.

I love to watch your playthroughs! I would love to see you playing the Rush M.D and The fox in the forest, please!!! :D
I believe you played the power stone card incorrect. Do you only get to place 2 plus one tokens or 4 plus ones ?
Nice playthrough. Can you guys do the same thing, but Disney Villainous this time? There's a lot of expansions to try out for new players.
I would really love to see that too.
47:22 Choose a villain other than Thanos. Shouldn't Nikki be able to target herself here?

We played this for the first time the other day and...man it can really be a suffocating experience.
Is that copy of wonderful Macao still in shrink?
Yup. We have played it on a friends copy but not our own yet. -Lincoln
I love the shuffle shots ^__^
Doesn’t each board play on its own! I’m confused 😐 I thought you can’t use your card to play on another person board.
That is what this game changes. I think it is only Thanos that can do that. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln
Man I was really hoping she would come out of nowhere and win. Fate was not on her side that is for sure.
Ohhhhh Nikki P, this wasn’t your game! Link love the top, Nikki P awesome hair as always I’m green at the mo! However do I want this one next or do I want Wicked to the core still ........ hummmmm not sure.
shouldnt be able to attach soul marker to hulk
Poor poor Nikki. That was painful to watch.
So much for date night 😢
nefelheim= when satan and his "angels" were cast out of heaven, Nefelheim is where they landed

I watched this whole thing and I feel like I still don't even get the game. It didn't seem like they were having much fun.
German Publisher and no german version in sight, even after a year.
First!
