7 heroes, 3 villains, simple rules, it's Marvel United
PLAYERS: 1-4
GAME TIME: 40 min
PUBLISHER: CMON Games,
PUBLISHER IN UKRAINE Geekach Games
In Marvel United, players take on the role of one superhero from the Marvel Universe and work together to defeat a villain.
GAIT STRUCTURE
Each turn, the player plays one card on the "timeline", side by side, and plays the value on the card just played AND also uses the value on the previously played card. Each icon provides either a move, a hit, a heroic action, or a wildcard action (any of the above).
It is important to understand which hero will play before you and which one after. Each hero comes with a different deck, each deck has a different number and distribution of icons, making them somewhat unique from each other. For example, Hulk has more punches and Cap has more heroics, understanding your deck composition and your friends will be helpful for proper cooperation.
In addition, there are three cards in each deck that also grant unique abilities only to the hero playing them (they cannot be used by other heroes) and make the deck even more themed around that hero.
After the heroes have played three cards on the timeline, it's time for the villain to attack. One card from the Sinister Deck is revealed, and the Villain will move, attack, spawn tokens, and play powerful abilities that cripple heroes. Each villain has different victory conditions that are specific and themed to that villain.
Round by round, the Heroes will try to complete the tasks to defeat the villain.
The Villain will win by destroying all the Heroes, or by completing his Nefarious Plan (if he has one), or by running out of the Sinister Plans deck.
COMPONENTS
The quality of the components is top notch, the miniatures are probably the best miniatures I've seen in the history of CMON. They have a lot of detail, and the reliefs under each one make them glow, giving them a touch that other games (like Blood Rage) didn't have.
The card quality is good and due to the small number of cards in the deck (12) protectors are not needed, just be careful when shuffling the deck. The illustrations are beautiful and in a chibi style that makes the game unique and gives it a special appeal.
SINGLE PLAYER MODE
Marvel United is a fully co-op game and can easily be played with two or more characters, but if that's not your thing, shield mode is for you.
Choose 3 characters of your choice and shuffle their decks. You will have five cards in your hands and you will play with them. The rules are basically the same as in the normal game, except for a few nuances, for example, you can play the same hero card on the next turn.
Solo mode is fun, but it removes the fun part of character interaction by allowing the player to play the same hero's cards multiple times in a row.
To be honest, I prefer to play together and choose two heroes to control.
IMPRESSION
Marvel United has simple rules, but with each individual deck and clever card game system, it creates a unique feel for each game.
While the feel of the heroes is based on their own deck (some heroes hit harder than others, and others take more heroic actions, for example), the highlight of the game is the Villains.
Each villain is unique and can have their own victory condition and abilities that will completely change the way you play against them. Even using the same hero, a new Villain will force you to use a new strategy, and that's one of the game's strengths. The characters are different enough to make the player cooperate in different ways, but the game shines with each new villain that enters the game. They all have different threat maps to deal with the ability of the locations and the ability to block them, and how they interact with the heroes and the field will make the Marvel United experience different.
Marvel United is awesome. The simple gameplay but unique feel makes the game a great choice for those interested in the Marvel theme.
The game is family-friendly, its difficulty can be increased by removing certain cards from the decks, giving the heroes fewer wild symbols, and fewer cards will make them more fragile to win.
The core game offers 7 unique heroes and 3 different villains for pretty good replayability. Also, changing locations makes it play differently because you have to play for the same character icons all the time. (example: if you play after Hulk's turn, you can get hit a lot)
Is it enough to use this to satisfy yourself with just the basic set, or do you need extensions? The base game itself is a very good deal for the money, the quality of the components is very high and the combination of heroes and villains offers great replayability. Is it enough? Yes........ but if you're a huge Marvel fan, you'll want to find all the expansions you can because they offer not only more heroes and villains, but also different challenges. If you love Marvel but aren't a huge fan, the basic box will give you some good family time at a very good price.
