About the game

Marvel United is a light cooperative game where players take on iconic Marvel heroes teaming up to foil a villain's master plan. Heroes move around a modular city, rescue civilians, defeat thugs, and combine their unique cards into powerful combo actions, while the villain deploys henchmen and spreads chaos. Once enough missions are cleared, heroes can strike the villain directly to win. Its fast forty-minute playtime and charming presentation make it an easy pick for a wide range of players.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli appreciates how approachable this is for families while still giving Marvel fans satisfying hero synergy to discover. The villain's automated behavior can feel repetitive after many plays, but as a quick, thematic co-op it delivers exactly what it promises.
