Marvel: Age of Heroes (English)

Marvel: Age of Heroes is an epic strategy game where each player commands a duo of X-Men sent to defeat villains and complete objectives. Your team must gather resources and power-ups before embarking on dangerous missions in one of the three uniquely challenging scenarios included in the game.

Rodney Thompson, co-designer of Lords of Waterdeep, combines theme and strategy into a blend of worker placement and resource management. The most effective team will manage their skills, train their mutants, and outpace the competition in the institute and mission phases. Scenarios, asymmetrical abilities, new powers, and scoring conditions all serve to provide a unique gaming experience!

Players' heroes are represented by a set of striking full-color acrylic standees. Teams include fan favorites like Wolverine & Jubilee, Jean Gray & Cyclops, Forge & Storm, and more! Cards and player boards feature a fantastic dream landscape art effect, as if a powerful telepath is viewing them through Cerebro.

Institute Phase:
Players will send their heroes to action rooms like Danger Room or Medical Bay to receive various benefits. Some action rooms on the Institute board allow you to increase your physical, mental, and willpower tracks, while others let you draw cards, play cards, or change turn order. Additionally, Ally cards will come into play during the game, revealing new action options. Instead of performing actions at the Institute, heroes can be sent to X-Jet to take on challenges in the mission phase.

Mission Phase:
This is where players will put their teams to the test! Send your heroes out to the Mission Board or Extraction Point, where you will use the resources, skills, and powers you have gathered to take on villains directly or team up with other characters for even more effective attacks! Each scenario presents completely different challenges as you face Sentinels, Magneto, and even Apocalypse!

Scenarios can change the composition of the Institute Deck, creating a rich, thematic story. The deck contains dozens of iconic X-Men characters and events available through a shared market. Players will jockey to collect and influence the heroes that are most useful to their strategies. As the board and scenarios evolve, so will your characters. Special evolution cards add new abilities and scoring conditions. In addition to unique development cards, each team has different starting resources and asymmetrical abilities in advanced mode, providing high variation and replayability!
