About the game
What you do in a play session
Travel back in time and relive the glory days of the first mutant class with Marvel United: X-Men – First Class! This Kickstarter exclusive expansion throws you right into the early days of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, where you'll control the original, raw version of iconic heroes and villains. Get ready to see your favorite characters with a classic look and mechanics that reflect this early, less experienced, but full-of-potential phase. The Maximoff twins, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, appear as an intriguing villainous duo, working together to challenge the heroes. And to make things even more interesting, the expansion brings the famous Danger Room as a special location, offering heroes a space for training and improvement. With a modular board, you can vary the scenario with each game, ensuring no mission is the same. Hand management is crucial, as each card played brings you closer to victory or defeat. If you enjoy cooperative games with a superhero twist and want to explore the roots of the X-Men, this expansion is a treat. The solo experience is also a great option for those who like to test their skills against the challenges created by the game.
