About the game

What you do in a play session

If you think you know everything about the X‑Men, get ready for an epic twist! In this expansion, Professor X’s death in a time‑travel mishap leaves the world under the tyrannical rule of the mutant despot Apocalypse. But not all mutants accept this oppression. A band of fearless heroes, led by Xavier’s old friend Magneto, band together to topple the regime. Age of Apocalypse throws an apocalyptic setting where heroes turn into villains and villains become unlikely heroes. The game keeps the cooperative mechanics of the United series, but adds hand‑management, modular board, and variable player powers, creating a dynamic, strategic experience. Each player receives unique abilities that change their playstyle, and the board can be reshuffled each game, ensuring replayability. If you love intense stories, iconic characters, and gameplay that demands teamwork, this expansion is a must‑have. Get ready to unite forces and save the mutant universe in an epic battlefield filled with twists and critical decisions!
