Under Tom's guidance, Magneto now has the battle cry of "Hello Dolly hoo hoo hoo!"

[@WretchinWilson]

I got the Uncanny Pledge of this iteration of the game and, as an X-Men superfan, I LOVE it! So much fun to play with my family!

[@pietrorasputin52]

Cyclops in the comics was awesome until the 2000's. I have and read every X-Men comic from original issue until then and he was one of the most engaging characters for me. Scott was a man who always felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders as leader of the X-Men and took his responsibilities very seriously. And his back story is powerful and moving.

[@petergross7235]

In marvel united as you make it more difficult you take out the wilds. The hardest level has no wilds...which also makes your player powers much more impactful. Thanks for the great play through. I'm very excited about this new content!

[@garys4067]

The Top 10 Accessories list was great! So many good ideas.

[@boardgameweekenders2517]

Thanks so much for watching Gary! We appreciate it!

1:23:00 ‘Marvel Time’ was created approx 1968 during one of company’s earliest sales as a way of slowing down changes in the universe to accommodate outside licensing of characters. I think 1968 to early 2000’s is something like 14 years of Marvel Time

[@pietrorasputin52]

I want to see Apocalypse in the game. He's my favorite villain of all time.

[@healdybear]

Love accessories, it really makes the experience better! We somtimes use guacamole bowls for an alternative to component bowls. Can even be more thematic for something like Villainous or Harry Potter.

[@boardgameweekenders2517]

Never thought of using Guacamole bowls but that is a great idea! We might steal it 😜

[@klissattack]

I really hope we'll see Nightcrawler and Gambit as stretch goal heroes

[@gregwilkinson8127]

yeppers, also Rogue, Colossus and Deadpool!!

[@klissattack]

@@gregwilkinson8127 we got 3 of 5 so far. Here's hoping for the other 2

[@HobGungan]

Greetings from the Future! Gambit and Rogue were included in the Blue Team expansion box. Colossus was included in the Gold Team expansion box. Deadpool got his own box with Hero and Villain pieces as well as a unique Challenge. Nightcrawler was included in the Stretch goals. They saved him until literally the last day of the campaign for maximum last stretch power and people were threatening to mutiny if he didn't show up soon. They actually had to scramble to come up with at least five more characters after him with how fast he was unlocked.

[@trbry.]

I'd love that Marvel X-men game, if only it was not a super heroes game I'd try to get it.

[@AmyLou79]

This was great!!

[@brianthomson3095]

Excellent list of accessories!! Card sleeves are something i would add. Game bags are next on my list to purchase. Thanks.

[@KabukiKid]

Yeah... I'd add sleeves too, but they are definitely conditional as to when to use them. :-)

[@boardgameweekenders2517]

Card sleeves we’re most definitely our number 11 lol! We have really been liking the Gamegenic Matte Ones

[@KabukiKid]

@@boardgameweekenders2517 Nice! I like matte sleeves too.

[@siriactuallysara]

Just got marvel United this week. Can’t wait to get the x-men.

[@Serp1313]

It's a shame the game is so shallow. :/

[@siriactuallysara]

Age of Apocolypse Onslaught. Those are the most 2 wanted villains for me

[@GarrettMHoyle]

How about omega red?

[@gregwilkinson8127]

@@GarrettMHoyle That would be awesome, he's always been on of my favorite super villain's

[@Sacrilege83]

Well guess what, today is your lucky day.

[@diversonArchitect]

50:20- Civilian should have been added to the space station (not asteroid M)- which after the thug was added would have overflowed, flipping the civilians there and at Xavier institute. -technically, also Mastermind should have bammed, though that wouldn't have effected anything since there were no civilians in Storm's or Cyclops's locations. 1:08:00- Bam should have also triggered for Scarlet Witch who would have removed a card from Storm's hand from the game. I didn't see any other mistakes that didn't get fixed.

[@jesseklei4074]

1:32:05 for the top 10 accessories list.

[@AdamWhitehead111]

Cyclops wasn't always an obnoxious jerk. If you count alternate versions. AoA cyclops was actually OK, despite working for the bad guys. But 616 Cyclops has always been an obnoxious jerk.

[@mysticmouse7983]

Villain always goes first to start the game

[@internet2055]

1 Question only ...for Tom, Zee, or anyone is it only my party of friends? but for example we would never play this without background Xmen Music, or Back tonthe Future without Background music, or Star Wars without continuous SW music, etc... Im surprised Tom and them are the best at this .....but do they play with thematic background music??????

[@dennisw64]

It's ironic that Tom mentions Nightcrawler. I haven't seen Nightcrawler in the Marvel United X-Men kickstarter. Is CMON saving him for an expansion?

[@TheAnyelNOW]

I have a question about the 5 player mode. Did they add a 5 player mode for the versus the villain deck or is that 5 player mode you guys were talking about the one were one person can play as the villain? If they did add a 5 player mode to the normal mode... does it specify if the Marvel United previous version can be adapted to this many players too?

[@MikeB-nn4nh]

5 player is 1v4

[@FiresDave]

Where did you get (or how did you make) the vinyl stickers for each game that you put on the front of the clear 5x7 organizer boxes?

[@boardgameweekenders2517]

Hi Dave, It is printable vinyl that I printed at home! Thanks for watching! -Megan

[@marcoforster5660]

I love Marvel United- but I feel like the X-Men-Heroes are a bit overpowered. They have more abilities, some start with their strongest abilities in hand and it seems, as if they got less one-symbol-cards. Do you think they are balanced?

[@WhatUpRob]

Where did you get your playmat from?

[@ianbayliss4896]

Why wasn’t the henchmen bams effect when Tom bammed mastermind and scarlet witch should have been smashing the hero’s too have the changed that rule?the guys spent about four bams on there space and you did nothing

[@craiggaming9153]

I was thinking the exact same thing. The BAM effects on the Threat cards should have procc'd

[@fundip533]

Yeah they just completely ignored the Henchmen. Could've changed the game a lot!

[@kenrickcarlsonkeh191]

Can the previous season be used for 1 vs many too?

[@DTChrisYi]

That's correct, any previous heroes can be brought into the 1-vs-many mode

[@kenrickcarlsonkeh191]

@@DTChrisYi thanks. I wonder if they will include a way to use the previous villains as well.

[@crain1rr]

I’m with Tom. The lengths on some of these turns are booooooonkers long.

[@jakubwojcik5167]

Does anyone know what song was Tom humming / talking about at the very start of the video?

[@thedicetower]

It was the X-men cartoon theme song kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXLOfWVjq81lic0

[@jakubwojcik5167]

@@thedicetower Oh yeah. Now that you mention it, it seems obvious. Especially considering what game is being played. Thanks.

[@MikeB-nn4nh]

Strange that CMON are calling the purple characters Anti Heroes., when AH are characters like Wolverine ... Magneto is actually an Anti Villain., as he’s a villain with Noble goals..

[@carpetsnake83]

Could someone play as the villain in the base game if they wanted against the hero’s

[@azrealle9474]

They can if they have this set. From what I gather (and I may have misunderstood), you use the SUPER HERO and SUPER VILLAIN cards from this set when someone plays as the villain in any Marvel United game.

[@carpetsnake83]

@@azrealle9474 I’ve been looking into it more I think they stuffed it up your not supposed to play as magneto when he is a villain. But You can play as magneto as a hero cause he comes with a player/hero deck. Something you can’t do with say red skull cause he only comes with a villain deck and no hero deck So no a player isn’t meant to be the villain But it seems like a happy accident for home brew if you have more players lol

[@thrawncaedusl717]

@@carpetsnake83 incorrect. The newly released rule book clearly has rules for playing as villains and says they will be retroactively adding those rules to most previously released villains (the rule book seemed to be hedging on whether or not all will work, though I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t work).

[@carpetsnake83]

@@thrawncaedusl717 well yeah they are providing rules But it’s doesn’t seem like something you could not have just made up and already been doing There is no component required that the game provides that’s necessary to make it possible It’s just hey guys play as the villain here’s how we recommend you do that It’s a new feature Mmmm not really

[@thrawncaedusl717]

@@carpetsnake83 there are the new hero and villain cards that give everyone (especially the person playing the villain) more options, though I agree that they are probably not strictly necessary. There is also the addition of heroes starting with tokens to balance out the encounters, though I imagine just giving the heroes 2 wild tokens per player probably does a close enough approximate. It is a new feature that they added some mechanics for, but I do agree that it doesn’t seem that difficult to jury rig.

[@JM32JM32]

How do we view the chat?

[@VaultBoy13]

Marvel United looks like a fun, light co-op (or 1-v-Many); but the minis are so pointless. It's a shame the minis aren't paired with a game that'd actually make use of them.

[@azrealle9474]

Pointless, but pretty. Personally the minis are why I am even considering backing the kickstarter. Gameplay is not even a close second place.

[@Sacrilege83]

Exactly what I am thinking, what is the point of the miniatures?

[@baylorpeak7135]

Where was Roy?

[@pikkdogs]

They traded him for a lady of some sort.

[@Theredglovedman]

@@pikkdogs bring on da ladies

[@magneto25]

Can I play this WITHOUT Marvel United?

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

Presumably it will be a standalone set, but you might need to check the kickstarter when it launches for details.

[@MyMiniMovieMagic]

X-Men will be stand alone

[@MrMaltavius]

The minis have too little detail to them, way to many flat areas... it'll be a pain to paint them...

[@fundip533]

That’s exactly what makes them fun to paint. So many modern minis have waaaay too much needless detail that just takes ages to paint. Nice clean large surfaces are heaven for miniature painting

[@MrMaltavius]

@@fundip533 Clean large surfaces are boring to paint. It's also hard to make them look good. Not everyone can be Big Child Creatives...

[@Serp1313]

This game SUUUUUUCKS. It's far too easy and the characters aren't varied enough. A waste of time.
