Marvel Heroes
The heroes of the Marvel universe come to life in MARVEL HEROES: the Board Game!
Thwarting robberies, solving mysteries, and rescuing citizens from danger are all in a day's work for members of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and the Marvel Knights
... unless there's a super villain involved!
In MARVEL HEROES, 2-4 players each take on the role of a popular super-team straight from the pages of Marvel comics, including such well-known heroes as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, and the Fantastic Four. Simultaneously, they take the role of an evil Mastermind, whether it's the Kingpin of Crime, Dr. Doom, the Red Skull, or the mutant terrorist Magneto. They will fight crime and progress their story as super heroes, and work to complete their villainous plans as Masterminds, all competing to be the most successful at both tasks.
The action unfolds in New York City, on an impressively detailed and accuratemap depicting Manhattan Island as well as Brooklyn and Queens. Players will respond to dangerous and crimnal events, represented by Headlines, that crop up across the city, sending members of their super hero team to rescue citizens, fight crime, and battle super villains. Meanwhile, the dastardly Masterminds work to their own purposes - and especially to defeat their Nemesis super-team!

the beat up kid
I was weary about playing this game, I've read so much about it's clunky mechanics and how this game wasn't worth it. Guess what? It's not true. I've just played this game, managed to get a game in 2,5 hours, had a blast playing and...
A disappointing dud.
MH is a disappointingly dry exercise that doesn't live up to the flashy theme and cool minis. It's not even that great a strategy game because the complicated rules and awkward language (threat, trouble, troubleshooting... *snore*) keep the gameplay from becoming second nature and allowing the strategy and/or theme...
