Warnel Chawpiovs (abbreviated as WC) is a homebrew card game for Nintendo Switch and PC, based on the popular cooperative board game Marvel Champions by Fantasy Flight Games. The game provides full rules enforcement and automation, allowing players to enjoy the complex card game without having to manually track all the rules.

This is a fan-created work and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Fantasy Flight Games. All characters, settings, and related elements are the property of their respective owners.

The game was created by Wololo, the well-known figure in the homebrew scene who runs Wololo.net. It is built using the Godot Engine.
