Flyingicarus and I are starting a new game series. Quest for the Infinity Gems. We'll have one big 3000 point team, one spearheaded by Adam Warlock while Thanos leads the other. This team will be broken up into 6 task forces, each playing a regular game to claim one of the Infinity Gems. At the end, they'll all reunite for a massive free-for-all, with the winners of the individual games wielding the additional powers of the Gems.

Mini-Games
We’ll play a series of 6 mini-games. Point values for each team may be between 400 and 600 points. Both sides do not have to have the same point value. We alternate who reveals first for each game. Player who reveals first also gets to choose map for the game after the second player reveals his team. Second player moves first.

At stake for each game will be one of the Infinity Gems. The victor of each mini-game may assign the Gem for that game to one of the figures that participated in the game for the final battle. Each gem grants the following advantages to the character possessing it as a Trait (so powers and abilities granted by the gems are uncounterable)


Game 1 – Space Gem: This Character gets Phasing, Running Shot, Charge
Game 2 – Mind Gem: This Character gets Mind Control and Psychic Blast. This character is also immune to Mind Control
Game 3 – Soul Gem: This Character gets Steal Energy, Protected and LMD
Game 4 – Reality Gem: This Character gains Outwit and Perplex
Game 5 – Time Gem: This Character gains Probability Control, Incapacitate and Super Senses
Game 6 – Power Gem: This Character gains Pulse Wave and +2 to their Damage

Final Game
Player who won the most mini-games gets to choose map and gets initiative. In the case of a tie, players roll for map choice and initiative. Players begin with their teams from Game 1 only in the starting area. After three turns, the team from game 2 appears in the starting area. Every three turns thereafter a new team arrives in the order they were played (maybe - work still in progress on that)

We've drafted 16 feats. Each player may use these feats once in the series of mini-games and again during the final game. In addition, there are 4 extra slots which each player may choose to fill with whatever feats they choose. No feat to be used more than twice. So for example Trick Shot is one of the 16 common feats. I can take it once for that, and then once more as one of my 4 extras, but I can't use two of my extras towards a third Trick Shot. Drafted Feats are:
Force Field, Stunning Blow, Shellhead, Mental Shields, Repulsor Shield, Pounce, Camouflage, Armor Piercing, Trick Shot, Protected, Thwart, Nanobots, Pummel, Fortitude, Vendetta, Contingency Plan

We've pre-drafted 2000 points of teams, with the remaining points to be filled in as needed:

In addition, to avoid having to be over-reliant on TK, we are beginning each game with figures placed one-by-one in predetermined starter squares: L16, K8, V20, O7, C15, T10, E19, H12, Q19, J20, D5, M11, P13, J21, O10, S5

This thread will be used to keep track of figures, points, and feats used so far for either team and ongoing commentary and discussion of the conditions.

"It is time," Thanos considered. "I have been separated from the Infinity Gems longs enough. I have discerned the locations of all of them and have gathered a small army of minions to fetch them for me. With their power, control of the universe shall be mine..."

And after first game's teams are revealed, updated character list and feats ticked off. Characters used marked with an *
