About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an extra dose of mutants and mayhem! Marvel United: X-Men – The Horsemen of Apocalypse brings the X-Men into the United line with an expansion that pits heroes against the feared Apocalypse and his four horsemen: Famine, War, Pestilence, and Death. This Kickstarter exclusive expansion raises the stakes, allowing you to face Apocalypse directly, with the horsemen acting as threats that move around the board, spreading destruction. But if you're looking for the ultimate trial by fire, the Four Horsemen Mode challenges you to defeat each of the horsemen individually, one by one, before facing the final boss. Each defeated horseman grants bonuses for the final battle but also strengthens Apocalypse. Managing your hand of cards is crucial for coordinating attacks, using the X-Men's unique powers, and completing objectives. With a modular board, each game promises to be different, keeping the action fresh and exciting. It's an expansion that adds depth and an extra challenge for those who already enjoy the Marvel United system, bringing the essence of the X-Men to the tabletop in a vibrant and strategic way. Prepare your best combos and save the world once again!
