What you do in a play session
Get ready to channel the mystical energies of Doctor Strange with this expansion for Marvel United! If you already enjoy the base game and want to add another hero to your Avengers team, this is a sure bet. Doctor Strange comes with his signature miniature and a brand-new deck of cards, each representing his arcane powers and unique abilities. Just like the other heroes in the Marvel United universe, his cards allow for movement, attack, and special ability actions, all to help you defeat the threats emerging on the modular board. The challenge remains cooperative: all players join forces to overcome the villain's schemes, and Doctor Strange brings his own strategies to the table. He's great for those who like versatile options and a touch of magic in their battles. This expansion, originally a Kickstarter stretch goal, adds more variety and replayability to the game, allowing you to assemble even more epic teams. If you're a fan of the Sorcerer Supreme or simply want more options for your Marvel United, Doctor Strange is a fantastic addition that raises the fun factor.
