About the game

Thanos Rising: Avengers Infinity War is a cooperative dice-and-card game for 2-4 players who recruit Marvel heroes to stop Thanos from assembling the Infinity Gauntlet. Teams combine hero abilities, roll dice to generate resources, and draft cards to build a squad capable of taking down escalating threats. Success depends on critical thinking and open communication as much as lucky rolls.

Hobbli's Notes

We appreciate how accessible this cooperative game is for Marvel fans, letting a table of heroes work together rather than compete. The dice-and-draft combination offers enough decision-making to keep it from feeling too random, though the theme carries much of the appeal. It's a comfortable middle-weight co-op that plays well with families who love the source material.

What we like

  • Strong Marvel theming appeals to franchise fans.
  • Cooperative structure encourages table communication.
  • Dice rolling and drafting add layered decision-making.
  • Escalating villain threat keeps tension building.

Keep in mind

  • Longer 90-minute runtime with notable downtime per turn.
  • Dice-driven outcomes can feel swingy.
  • Less appealing to players uninterested in the license.

Who it's for

Marvel fans and casual cooperative-game groups aged 10 and up looking for a moderate 90-minute team challenge.
