About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to assemble your squad and save the world! In Marvel Battlegrounds, you take on the role of a legendary leader — such as Iron Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, or Black Widow — with the critical mission of expelling villains who have decided to turn Earth into their own personal playground. The situation is dire: six iconic locations, including New York, London, Los Angeles, Sokovia, Wakanda, and Attilan, have been invaded and need immediate rescue.
The game unfolds over three intense rounds. Your primary goal is to recruit the right heroes to face the threats in each battlefield. But it's not just about hitting hard; it's about strategy. You'll need to manage your hand of cards with precision, deciding who to send to which mission and how to use your leader's unique abilities to turn the tide of battle. Each victory brings valuable rewards: some provide the essential victory points for the final win, while others serve to strengthen your team, preparing them for the even tougher clashes ahead.
The atmosphere is one of tension and competition, as you aren't alone in this fight. The struggle for who can gain the most influence and the highest number of victory points by the end of the third round is what defines the true strategist of the MCU. If you enjoy the feeling of building an unbeatable team and seeing the synergy between heroes working to defeat powerful villains, this game is your ideal choice. It's the perfect blend of resource management and the adrenaline of epic battles, where every decision can mean the difference between glory and total defeat. Who will have the cunning necessary to clear the map and save humanity?
