THANOS RISING

dad blogger
Do you have what it takes to lead the Avengers in preventing the villainous Thanos from gaining the reality-altering power of the mystical Infinity Stones? If the Mad Titan obtains all six stones and places them within his Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos will rise to be the ultimate power within the Marvel Universe putting billions of lives in peril. When you play THANOS RISING -- AVENGERS INFINITY WAR the fate of the universe is in your hands.

This is a cooperative tabletop game in which players work together to win the game. So no individual player wins the game ... you either all win or all lose in this battle with Thanos inspired by the movie Avengers: Infinity War. This cooperative dice and card game for 2-4 players lets you engage in your own superhero adventure pretending to be some of your favorite Marvel characters including Black Panther, Captain America, Dr. Strange, and Gamora.

Choose the leader you want to be from the four primary heroes and compile a card deck consisting supporting cast, tech and vehicles headquartered at a scenic location from the Marvel Universe. Each player will create their own strike team of super heroes that will engage in their own challenges and battles throughout the game with the overall goal though of cooperating as Avengers to take down Thanos.

Your leader starts off by traveling to one of three sectors of the Marvel Universe. There you can either recruit heroes to your team, acquire support gear (like an Avengers' quinjet, Guardian's Milano or Tony Stark's artificial intelligence program F.R.I.D.A.Y.) or battle Thanos' forces. Multiple teams of Avengers can be in the same sector to assist one another in the game but beware Thanos could also enter the space to join in combatting the Avengers.

Players don't actually battle Thanos directly in the game, but rather must defeat all his minions. That doesn't mean Thanos can't hurt you though! In between each player's turn Thanos gets a roll of the die. He either earns a point towards acquiring an Infinity Stone, inflicts damage on Avengers, or moves to a different sector of the Marvel Universe based on how the dice land. THANOS RISING: AVENGERS INFINITY WAR combines randomness with strategy to provide an exciting game play experience.

Your heroes win the game by defeating all of Thanos' minions before he collects all six Infinity Stones OR ten heroes are defeated. Difficulty can be increased or decreased by adjusting the number of minions players need to beat or heroes defeated to trigger the end of the game. The sooner you can defeat his minions the better! Though they aren't going to make that easy to do!

Be aware that every time Thanos acquires an Infinity Stone it is added to his gauntlet giving him extra abilities to hurt and hinder the Avengers. He is sure to unleash a fury of pain on you! Plus if he gets all the Infinity Stones...GAME OVER!

Each player battles Thanos' minions by rolling the number of dice designated in the hero cards of the Avengers characters they have assembled for their individual strike team. The dice that are rolled each turn can be used to cause damage to your enemies or utilize heroes special abilities. Assemble the Avengers and save the universe from the rising threat of Thanos!
