Get ready to assemble a team of superheroes and prevent Thanos from destroying the universe in Splendor: Marvel! The Infinity Stones are scattered throughout the Multiverse, and your mission is to use their essence to recruit iconic heroes and villains, accumulating the coveted Infinity Points. The dynamic will be familiar to those who already know the original Splendor, but with a Marvel twist that makes all the difference. You'll assemble the Avengers, conquer strategic locations, and, when ready, claim the Infinity Gauntlet!

The game retains the core essence of taking colored tokens to 'buy' character cards, which in turn give you permanent bonuses and Infinity Points. These bonuses are essential for recruiting even more powerful heroes and acquiring valuable locations, boosting your strategy until the end of the game. Although the central rules are the same as classic Splendor, this Marvel version features a slightly different color structure, a new endgame trigger, and novel victory conditions that will keep you thinking about new tactics. Additionally, the 'Avengers Assemble' tile adds an extra layer of interaction, passing from player to player and granting Infinity Points. If you're already a Splendor fan, you'll pick up the novelties quickly, but mastering the new strategies might take a while. And if you've never played Splendor, prepare to get hooked on the quick and elegant rules of this game that combines simplicity with the excitement of the Marvel universe!
