Krosmaster is a tactics and victory points board game with pretty awesome figures. Now, typically I don't go for tactics games; there is just so much going on that I cannot focus, kind of like a child in large toy shop. BUT this game gives a happy medium - there is enough to keep me thinking, but not so much that I forget what is happening, kind of like a child in a mid-sized candy shop. I am also particularly enamored with the art style of the game. The game is definitely cartoon-like, but it just looks so good! Have some photos!
Left: Core game and Right: Frigost Expansion (we kickstarted this one!)
Each character has a figure and they come with a card explaining their abilities, points, etc . . .

And Marvel Dice Masters. Now this game, I'm not going to lie, at first it was a bit confusing, but oh-my-goodness it is pretty cool and extremely strategic. It is a dice game which utilizes both cards and dice. In a nutshell, you have two types of cards and 3 types of dice. Characters cards have dice that go with only that character; Action cards have dice that can only be used with that action (though you dictate this every game); and then there are dice that are used for completing an action or "purchasing" more dice (in-game). Using the dice you have to decide your move and anticipate both your opponents future moves and your own future moves (yes, you do, or you die). Since there are so many different cards and dice there is a definite air of needing to collect - I want all the Storm and Loki cards and dice!
I cosplay her so I have to rock her in a game, of course!
The playing mat! They actually sell these, too. Very helpful.
