This will not affect overall gameplay too much and makes the game easier by giving each player more options. We suggest only using 1 or 2 more cards than the official rules state to use for the number of players in your game.

Minute Marvel is a fast paced game for the whole family. It is cooperative and games take only 5 minutes to play with the standard rules. We especially like that while the basic mechanic is quite simple (essentially color matching), the fast pace and use of a few other elements add some nice depth to the game as well. This means it can appeal to both casual and serious players. It can also be a great game for combining players of multiple skill levels or ages with just a few rule modifications (see our Custom Rules section for more on this). We've even included our two year old in games and everyone still had fun. It does not have as strong of an educational element as some other games we review, but can help develop strategic problem solving skills in a team environment. When using the official rules, this is a fast paced game and the cooperative play style means that players of different skill levels can become frustrated with each other if playing the game very seriously. For this reason, we recommend using a longer timer the first couple of times playing the game. Then lower the time as your family is ready. How long does it take to play?Both Hawkeyes, Clint and Kate, are trying to stay on top of their training and decide to use pranks to help keep each other on their toes, but know when to be serious and help out their neighborhood too. Can your heroes fight their way through hordes of minions, goons and villains and defeat the mighty Thanos? Each Door Card has two or more resource symbols shown on it. The Door Card can be defeated with Resource Cards if the heroes play the matching symbols from their hands. The symbols are: Choose to play as one of ten Marvel heroes, each with their own strengths and abilities, then join forces with your fellow players to take on six nefarious bosses!

Using the official rules, this is really a game for older kids and adults because the timer makes it very challenging. However, this game can be easily customized to accomodate younger kids as we suggest in our Custom Rules section. Having MORE cards than the minimum hand size is OK-you do not need to discard the extra cards. However, you also will not draw any new cards until your hand size drops below the minimum hand size again. In addition, each Door Card has a type. Some Hero Cards and Special Abilities can instantly defeat Door Cards of a specific type without having to match the symbols. The types are: Anytime you have fewer cards in your hand than the minimum hand size, immediately draw new cards to refill your hand.

Resource + Door Cards

Each hero has a side to their Hero Mat that says "INJURED". Some Crisis Cards may instruct you to flip your mat over or turn it to the injured side. All heroes have a Special Ability printed on their Hero Mat that they can use provided they are not Injured. Some heroes can defeat certain types of Door Cards with their ability.

As a last resort, heroes can choose to injure themselves to defeat any one Door Card by discarding their entire hand and flipping their mat to the injured side.Only 5 minutes with official rules, up to 10 minutes with our Custom Rules Will we get bored after a few games or does it have good replayability? One big question board game players will ask is, how is this different than 5 Minute Dungeon? The basic mechanics of the two games are actually identical. Use cards in your hand to match colors/symbols and defeat doors/villians. But there are a few key differences as well. We detail those differences below, but the end effect is that 5 Minute Marvel is a little easier to win when using a 5 minute timer. However, it is very simple to increase (or decrease) the difficulty level of either version of the game. If you're trying decide between the two, we would suggest choosing whichever theme (fantasy or superhero) appeals to your family more. In 5 Minute Marvel certain event cards may "injure" your hero, which will prevent them from using their powers. This does not happen in 5 Minute Dungeon. If you have a card with more than one symbol on it, you can use EITHER or BOTH symbols against the Door Card you are facing. However, you cannot play a Resource Card if none of its symbols match the symbols on the Door Card. The 5 minute timer can make this game quite challenging so we suggest user a longer timer for the first few games. If playing with very young kids you may even eliminate the timer entirely at first.

will also help add excitement each time you play. Be aware this is not a game you will want to play for an hour straight, but it is one you can pull out frequently for short game sessions. Setup/Cleanup Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store. With some of these changes it can become a fairly straightforward color/symbol matching game. This will allow younger kids to participate with only minimal help.
