About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are already a fan of Marvel United, get ready for things to get intense. In World War Hulk, the green giant isn't just angry; he is seeking total revenge after the tragic events in his life. Banished to Sakaar, he returns to Earth with his Warbound, turning New York into a chaotic battle arena. This expansion brings an epic level of intensity, focusing on the direct confrontation against the World Breaker Hulk. The gameplay experience maintains that cooperative DNA we love, where every move needs to be carefully thought out to keep the villain from dominating the board.

The challenge here is heavy. You are not just facing an ordinary brute, but a force of nature that demands the strongest heroes in the Marvel universe to step up. We have figures like Hercules and Ares trying to contain the rage, but when things get tough, it's time for Iron Man to don his iconic Hulkbuster armor. And of course, The Sentry joins the fray, bringing the constant tension of him being consumed by The Void. It is a treat for those who enjoy the comic book arc and want to test their limits against one of the most formidable enemies ever seen in the United line. The hand management mechanics and modular board ensure that every match against the Hulk is a surprise, requiring you and your group to coordinate each action with surgical precision. If you are looking for a game that mixes the charismatic visual of chibi miniatures with a difficulty that makes you sweat, this is the expansion your collection was missing. It is the type of box that brings that "boss" everyone wants to face, but few can stop. Prepare your cards, call your allies, and try not to get smashed in the process!
