About the game
What you do in a play session
Each player starts with a basic deck of hero cards, but don't worry, the idea is to evolve! Each turn, a new card from the villain deck emerges, revealing threats to the city, civilians in danger, or unexpected events. Your mission is to use the hero cards in your hand to generate attack points, recruit new and powerful heroes for your deck, and activate special abilities. As you defeat villains and recruit allies, your deck grows stronger, allowing you to face greater challenges. When your deck runs out, just shuffle your discard pile and start again, with an even more robust arsenal!
The ultimate goal is to accumulate enough power to confront and defeat the Mastermind before they complete their evil scheme. If the team fails, darkness wins! This special edition dives headfirst into MCU Phase 1, featuring iconic art and moments from the films Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, and The Avengers. Face classic villains and the new Iron Monger with his Iron Foes. The game comes with nearly 400 cards, a full-color rulebook, and an updated playmat for an immersive experience. It's the perfect chance to relive the origin of the Avengers at your table!
