Want a game to ignite your imagination?

Want a game that feels like a story is unfolding
?

Then strap on your tights and head this way - it's time for Marvel Heroes.

In MH, each player controls a team of heroes.

The teams include The Fantastic Four, The Avengers, The X-Men and The Marvel Knights. That's 16 key characters including many favourites.

 
     
 


The game comes with 10 different scenarios and each one outlines a different requirement to win.

This is a great addition and will keep the game fresh for many years to come.

The aim is to use your team to solve headlines that arise in the city of New York.

A headline acts as a crime, disaster or mystery that is plaguing the city.

But the fun doesn't end there.

Each player also controls a Nemesis to one of the other teams.

     

These can be used to try and stop the other players from completing headlines and this means that all players are kept in the action regularly.

The game aims to tell a story by offering great detail in the headlines, story boards and characters themselves.

A further 50 allies and 50 villains are added to the game with two decks of cards making for a large number of possibile encounters and combinations of characters

 
     
 

It takes a few plays to work out some of the trickier rules but this is a must for any comic book fan and a great experience for any gamer who likes action and has the patience to work through a few quirky rules.

KAPOW!
