About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a secret identity battle in the Marvel universe with Captain Marvel: Secret Skrulls! In this fast-paced, action-packed game, you and your friends take on the roles of iconic heroes, including Captain Marvel herself, on the front lines of Earth's defense against a Skrull invasion. The catch? Skrulls are masters of disguise and could be anywhere, even among you! The objective is clear: identify the infiltrators, protect your allies, and save the planet. But beware, trust is a luxury you might not be able to afford. Inspired by the mechanics of the classic BANG!, this card game puts everyone on high alert. Manage your hand wisely, use each hero's unique abilities to your advantage, and try to unmask the Skrulls before it's too late. Every play could reveal an ally or a disguised enemy. With short playtime and plenty of interaction, Captain Marvel: Secret Skrulls is perfect for those who enjoy deduction games with a superhero twist and a dash of paranoia. It's a game where negotiation and betrayal go hand-in-hand, and every decision counts in the war for Earth. Do you have what it takes to separate the good guys from the bad and secure victory for the heroes?
