HeroClix – Superhero Battles on the Table at Gamedungeon.se
What is HeroClix?
HeroClix is a collectible miniatures game where superheroes and villains from, among others, Marvel and DC clash on game maps. Each figure stands on a clickable base ("Clix-dial") that displays stats, damage, and abilities – a clever system that makes the game fast, tactical, and easy to read during battle.
The HeroClix Brand
HeroClix is developed by WizKids and has, since the 2000s, grown to become the leading superhero miniatures game on the market. In addition to Marvel and DC, the line has also included other pop culture licenses over the years. The brand is characterized by regular set releases, organized play, and a large international community that keeps the format alive with tournaments and events.
