I enjoy trading card games a lot, and was wondering if there was such a board game that could capture that feeling at higher player counts (without spending money on booster packs)

Think Radlands, but for 3-4 players

Unmatched can support up to 4 players if you get a box set that has a larger playing board. Plus there are some great resources for homebrew character decks if you're up for a little bit of diy you could have a lot of options fairly cheap. One of the more recent official box sets, Houdini vs the Genie were both fan created characters that got an official release.

I agree unmatched is a really fun option. There’s even a digital version that was recently released which is an easy way to try it out to see if you’d want to get the physical sets. Think there’s fan created rules online for a 3 person match if you don’t have 4.

Official 3 player rules were introduced in the first Marvel set, I think it was. But they are online if you don't have any of those sets.

My game group plays 3 almost exclusively.

Great game. So many fun combinations of characters. We just did Houdini vs Dr Strange vs Spider-Man last weekend.
