Suggested Age 14 and up

Marvel: Age of Heroes is an epic strategy game in which each player commands a duo of X-Men who are dispatched to defeat villains and complete objectives.

Your team will collect resources and power-ups before embarking on dangerous missions in one of the three uniquely challenging scenarios included in the game. The most effective team will manage their skills, train their mutants, and outpace the competition in the Institute and Mission Phase. Scenarios, asymmetric abilities, new abilities, and scoring conditions all serve to provide uncanny playability!

Player are heroes are represented by a set of striking full-color acrylic standees. Teams include fan-favorites like Wolverine & Jubilee, Jean Grey & Cyclops, Forge & Storm, and more! Cards and player boards have a gorgeous dreamscape art effect as if a powerful telepath is seeing them through Cerebro.

The deck features dozens of iconic X-Men characters and events that are available through a shared market. Players will be jockeying to collect and influence the heroes that are most useful for their strategies. As the board and scenarios evolve, your characters will, as well. Special evolution cards add new abilities and scoring conditions.

This game isn't Thematic

Its fine as a worker placement. But xmen not working together doesnt really make sense. And the situations are all pretty similar. I would just get lords of wtaerdeep instead.

Great X-Men version of Lords of Waterdeep

Marvel: Age of Heroes is a worker placement game from the designer of Lords of Waterdeep. There are some similarities with the worker placement, however there are many differences that set the two games apart.

In this one, players control pairs (usually) of X-Men collecting resources, playing ally or team up cards that create new places to go to, and damaging villains in a simulation in order to rack up victory points. So yes, it's competitive, but the X-Men are often showoffs anyway so it makes sense.

I really like the gameplay and especially the art -- it looks like watercolors and possibly made specifically for this game.

One of my only complaints is that it runs longer than 60-90 minutes - it might be able to go down to 90 after some plays but I would say more like 120 which is okay I guess. I just think the box really underestimated the length.

My other nitpick is that this game is entirely 100% X-Men so why it wasn't called Age of Mutants or Evolution is beyond me. Players can even evolve their characters with Evolution cards so that would have made much more sense than the generic Age of Heroes. So generic in fact that I bypassed this game for months when it was up for preorder and one day I finally decided to look at it and I am glad I did. It's a great X-Men themed worker placement game, it's just a bit long.
