{"product_id":"marvel-age-of-heroes","title":"Marvel: Age of Heroes","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarvel: 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 a variety of unique and challenging scenarios. Rodney Thompson  co-designer of Lords of Waterdeep  weaves the theme and strategy together through a mix of mutant placement and resource management. 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! Players heroes are represented by a set of striking full-color acrylic standees. Teams include fan-favorites like Wolverine \u0026amp; Jubilee  Jean Grey \u0026amp; Cyclops  Forge \u0026amp; Storm  and more! Cards and player boards have a gorgeous dreamscape art effect as if a powerful telepath is seeing them through Cerebro. The Institute Phase: Players will send their heroes to action spaces like the Danger Room or the Medical Bay to receive various benefits. Some action spaces on the Institute board let you increase your Physical  Mental  and Willpower tracks  while others let you draw cards  play cards  or change the turn order. Additionally  over the course of the game  Ally cards will come into play  revealing new action possibilities. Instead of performing actions at The Institute  heroes may be sent to the X-Jet to take on the challenges of the Mission phase. The Mission Phase: This is where players will put their teams to the test! Send your heroes out to the Mission Board or the Extraction Point where you'll use the resources  skills  and powers youve accumulated to take on villains directly or to team up with other characters for even more effective strikes! Each scenario presents entirely different challenges  as you take on Sentinels  Magneto  and even Apocalypse! Scenarios can alter the composition of the Institute Deck  which creates a rich  thematic storyline. 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. In addition to unique evolution cards  each team has different starting resources and asymmetric abilities in advanced mode that make for high variety and replay-ability!\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eMarvel: 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePlayers heroes are represented by a set of striking full-color acrylic standees.
