About the game

What you do in a play session

Suit up, because the mutants have arrived! Marvel United: X-Men takes the frantic cooperative mechanics of the United series and transports them straight into the X-Men universe. The goal is simple but far from easy: you must join forces to stop a superpowered villain from executing their evil master plan. But don't think it's just smash-and-grab; here, strategy is what separates the heroes from the bystanders.

Each player takes on the role of an iconic hero, and each comes with their own unique deck of cards. This means Wolverine doesn't play the same way Storm does. You'll need to manage your hand of cards very carefully, deciding the exact moment to unleash a superpower or perform a combat action. The real magic lies in the synergy: the game shines when you combine your cards with your teammates' to pull off impossible combos and contain the threats emerging across the board.

The board is modular, ensuring that every mission features a different layout, changing your positioning and the urgency of your moves. And if you're tired of being the hero, get ready: the game allows one player to take on the role of the villain, controlling the threats and trying to thwart the other heroes' plans. It's a fast-paced game with rules you can pick up quickly, yet it demands collective thinking to avoid being defeated by the game system. With stunning miniatures and art that looks like it leaped straight off the comic book pages, it's the ultimate experience for anyone wanting to feel the weight of saving the world (or at least Xavier's School) in under an hour!
