Marvel United: Multiverse - The New Solo Mode Gameplay

[@jeffreydunford9251]

Very first turn: when you use an effect to “discard” thugs (or civilians), they don’t go on the mission card. Only using attack actions/tokens (or heroic actions/tokens), or wilds, or that use the word “defeat” (or “rescue”) are used to complete those missions “defeat thugs” and “rescue civilians”. At least, that’s how it worked with Hulk.

[@ortizlzitro]

I was about to write the same comment 😂

[@Jiinkster]

The card actually says defeat, he miss spoke. I said the same thing till I looked at the actual card and it does say defeat all.

[@Pasqwalle]

Yep! The card "Defeats" not Discards. Sometimes the language is used interchangably, but we know they're VERY different effects. He played it correctly, but narrated it incorrectly haha.

[@squirt0003]

Was gonna say same thing

[@matiasnl]

Zooming in, it actually says defeat.

[@kumanight]

Interesting spin on the solo, easy enough to implement with the content we already have. I'm pretty sure I'll still prefer 2 handing but I'll give this a try at least

[@BryceChristiansen]

Definitely think this is an upgrade on the current solo mode. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@BoardGameCo]

Absolutely!

[@tonybowers9490]

Thanks for sharing. Well played. You did great considering that you're playing, commenting (thinking out loud), and videoing. I would have a mess on my hands if I were multitasking like you.

[@BoardGameCo]

Thanks Tony!

[@xtraplayer7281]

You could use dice which count down with damage, instead of the health markers . That way, observers can see the health meter on each of the henchmen, and the Main bad as well.

[@SilentAspiration]

Thank you so much for this video! You show the battle plan cards here. Would you be willing to do a video on all the battle plan cards and what they mean?

[@jonathangillies6531]

Thanks for the video! Great to see Cosmic Ghost Rider’s cards!

[@BoardGameCo]

Absolutely :)

[@redspit123blackops]

I have too many united games, I might just get the base set (since idk most multiverse characters) and those plastic tokens look really good. I always thought the cardboard tokens were high quality but seeing these, they really pop out.

[@SeanLange]

Great choice for a video to promote this game. I tried this solo mode "Commander" with X-men United and it made the game 1000% better. Thanks Alex! I was going to pass on Multiverse... that all changed and I just backed it.

[@commandershepard9920]

Do you actually prefer "Commander" over simply playing multi-handed?

[@SeanLange]

@@commandershepard9920 I do, being able to focus on one character lets me 'play' that character. Feels more immersive and engaging. I imagining that there are 4 other characters doing their own thing, engaged in other aspects of the fight, and when they can, providing support. To me it feels thematic and less fiddly allowing me to focus on fun. It's not any kind of extreme challenge... that's for other games... this just allows me to play a ton of characters, see tons of powers, and in a short playtime.

[@jeremymullen7097]

Tried Commander solo with Marvel United and Marvel United: X-Men. In my first game, I took down Mystique somewhat easily. In Game 2, facing Taskmaster with Spider-Man, I needed Heroics to rescue civilians so that I could remove the crisis tokens and defeat the villain, but all that came out in my hand and my support was Attacks. Since I don't have Multiverse, I played with no Battle Plans and no Equipment, so I guess going 1-1 in this new mode minus the "bells and whistles" isn't too bad.

[@robmarney]

At 22:00, you couldn't damage Starfox, since he becomes invulnerable if he hits a hero.

[@Pasqwalle]

This is surprisingly, I think, the only actual "misplay" in the entire video unless I'm mistaken. But it seems to have gone smoothly otherwise.

[@BoardGameCo]

Good catch!

[@klissattack]

I was hoping to see one of these playthroughs. Now wasn't that starting card random or does the villain have a specific order for their cards? I always thought u shuffle the deck

[@BoardGameCo]

You shuffle, this one has a specific starting card.

[@klissattack]

@@BoardGameCo ah ok that makes sense

[@DannyOz]

Alex, You didn't do the BAM effect of the henchmen during the turn at 27:10. I can't read the cards but Captain Marvel and/or Silver Surfer may have done damage to you.

[@DannyOz]

After reviewing earlier turns, it looks like Captain Marvel only damages *adjacent* to her and since you were on her location I guess you didn't take any damage. Silver surfer moves to the next empty location with a hero (I believe), so I guess he didn't move either. So I guess no harm / no foul.

[@Pasqwalle]

Noticed this too, but yeah: the BAMs even though not Narrated - have no effect!

[@StellarlighQc]

I'd definitely like to know if some card wordings apply to heroes as same as support heroes

[@BoardGameCo]

It's a bit loose in the current prototype rules

[@darcnite3000]

Looking at the WIP rules on the Kickstarter, the Battle plan budget can be 0-2 not 0-3, you could not have used both of those cards

[@BoardGameCo]

Interesting...I thought it was 0-3, unsure if that was my oversight or miscommunicated.

[@darcnite3000]

@@BoardGameCo may have been different at the time of your play, latest WIP says [P.14] "The maximum possible is 2, but you can play with 1 or even 0 for a bigger challenge." I've backed it, but have chased down 10 of the 12 Battle Plan cards so i can play this early

[@NOWTabletoping]

He uses his cards twice a few times, you don't use the negative ability on the bottom left card, he didn't activate everyone's bams on one turn. He won but he didn't cause I wasn't played right, but then again every video I have seen has mistakes in it. Still great game and shows off a lot

[@ericw5193]

I really appreciate this video. Been wondering about this game due to the IP and the minis. Looks interesting but may not be for me exactly. Videos like this help save me from the KS fomo lol

[@BoardGameCo]

Lol happy to help

[@garthen73]

Hello from Indiana! Thanks for the content!

[@BoardGameCo]

Absolutely!

[@JakeTheBrightLord]

Immortus with plan B sounds really hard

[@boardsandstuff5008]

Can you do a video of 100 games that you feel will not leave your collection in the next 10 years. That would be interesting to see.

[@BoardGameCo]

I wouldn't get to a 100 :) I'd get to maybe 30-40 at most.

[@JakeTheBrightLord]

I really want to see Annihilus

[@maxf.7262]

Ty for this video!

[@BoardGameCo]

Of course!

[@RiHa_Games]

Dutch saying literally translated: Through the street of later one arrives at the house of never... Like me playing solo 😉🐦

[@BoardGameCo]

Nice :)
