Let customers speak for us
What System Are You Shopping For?
Okay, first thing’s first! Let’s figure out what type of gamer you’re looking for. If you’re unsure, you could always do a little browsing (or just ask) and find the game. But it’s important to know just what games your intended recipient plays so that we can provide the right recommendations.
Some of this has to do with theme – for example, if your son plays Marvel Crisis Protocol, they’d want comic book inspired, modern terrain. A broken-down wild west outpost just won’t fit in quite right! Additionally, for some games the scale of the terrain is very important. Don’t worry too much about the technicalities here, just know that depending on the game system you’ll need terrain of a specific size for it to work correctly – we’ll get into that in our game specific recommendation below.
Ready To Go?
Okay, now that you know what system you’re looking for, we’ll break down some of our favorite pieces and provide a few options. First, we’ll talk about a nice gift that anyone playing those games will use. Then, we’ll sprinkle in a couple of stocking stuffer options – nice, low cost items that would be a great add-on. And finally, we’ll include a showstopper piece for each game – these are going to be the jaw-dropping additions that’ll recreate the feeling of opening that first Nintendo or BB gun in Christmases of yore!
Today, we're looking at the world of superheroes and villains, of mystical arts and mutant spiders... that's right, we're talking terrain compatible with Atomic Mass's fantastic Marvel Crisis Protocol!
