About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're into the more aggressive and direct approach of mutants, the X-Force expansion for Marvel United: X-Men is the right choice! This crew doesn't just wait for the villain to act; they go on the offensive to stop evil before it starts, following Cable's philosophy: 'Get them before they get you.' It's a distinctly different approach from traditional X-Men teams, which focus more on defending innocents and reacting to evil plans. Here, action is guaranteed, and the pace is accelerated.

This expansion brings four new heroes ready for action, a brand-new villain to test your skills, and four locations that will add extra spice to your missions. As is common in the Marvel United series, cooperative gameplay shines, requiring you to work as a team, wisely manage your hand of cards, and use each hero's unique powers to overcome challenges. The modular board ensures that each game is a new experience, and the solo play option is a bonus for those who like to face challenges alone.

Prepare for intense combat and quick tactical decisions. The X-Force is not for the faint of heart but is perfect for those seeking a dynamic and adrenaline-fueled gaming experience in the Marvel universe. With high-quality components and the addictive mechanics of the United series, this expansion promises hours of fun for X-Men fans and cooperative game enthusiasts.
