About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare for a cosmic invasion in Marvel United! In this exclusive Kickstarter expansion, the fearsome Galactus lands on Earth with his insatiable hunger, and he's not alone. Having been betrayed by the Silver Surfer, he's recruited four new and powerful Heralds – Air-Walker, Firelord, Nova, and Terrax – to aid him in his destructive mission. Now, it's up to the Heroes of the Marvel universe to unite and stop this epic-scale threat.
'The Coming of Galactus' raises the challenge to a new level. You can face Galactus himself, who commands his Heralds as direct threats while you attempt to complete crucial missions under his watchful eye. Or, if you prefer a more direct confrontation, each of the Heralds can be faced individually in intense game modes where they unleash their full power against the heroes. The expansion brings a generous amount of components, including the miniatures of Galactus and his four Heralds, along with their respective villain dashboards, Master Plan cards, Threats, and Missions. With cooperative mechanics and hand management, this expansion promises epic battles and moments of pure tension for Marvel United fans.
