Marvel United Stories: Spider-Geddon Takes You to the Spider-Verse
The Marvel Universe is going through hard times. In short, not all of his films are truly quality projects. One of the few that can be called successful is “Spider-Man: Parallel Worlds” along with its sequel “Spider-Man: Into Parallel Worlds”. And it is with this successful trilogy (I include the yet-to-be-released film) that the game Marvel United: Spider Geddon is firmly connected.
The main characters here are fighters who have something to do with radioactive spiders. He directly bites some, and hides others in the insides of the robot they own. Thanks to this, you will be able to take on the role of one of the eight characters of Marvel United: Spider Geddon for an adventure. They basically have special decks that always have graphics on the back so you don’t really get confused when sorting the cards.
Aside from parts that are more or less identical to all of them or handled exactly the same, they all have truly unique cards with unique abilities. Peni Parker, for example, uses the Metal Armor card to ignore one wound after drawing it. For example, Symbiote Spider-Man takes two hits after using the Power Overwhelming card. Additionally, if he manages to eliminate the villain during this event, he will get one of these tokens back for him, which will pay off.
In addition to new heroes, Marvel United: Spider Geddon also features villains. Spot, which you probably remember from Spider-Man: Into Parallel Worlds, will become a staple for many players. When he is chosen as the main villain, you place his dot tokens in each location. With their help, he can deal damage to enemies, and also teleport to them if he accidentally gets hit. You can also find Morluna in the menu next to him.
These pompous villains present a worthy challenge. However, you can also take on Anti-Venom and Superior Spider-Man as these heroes can disguise themselves and transform into antagonist roles. Each of the enemies has a special set of abilities, a number of lives, and how locations react when they can no longer put Villain/Resident tokens in them. In this case, for example, the villain is Spot, so all heroes at that destination will take damage.
The battle itself is played by the villain, who always plays his Conspiracy card, which begins his movement around the map. If they arrive at the “target” destinations, they will activate the main effect in Marvel United: Spider Geddon. If he doesn’t just add villain and townsman tokens to the surrounding spaces. Then the heroes play, laying out their cards one after another, after which there is always a villain who does not remain completely out of the game.
The story unfolds and a bunch of normal characters perform three presented tasks during the story, turning their opponent into a “regular” target that they can then beat. A well-developed cooperation mechanic is based on this; characters can follow their last predecessor as part of an attack and thereby make the villain even saltier. The game in Marvel United: Spider Geddon ends with the heroes losing or defeating the villain. You can play in this way both against the game itself and against one of the players who takes on a negative character.
Marvel United: Spider Geddon will delight co-op fans
Marvel United: Spider Geddon is a board game that is relatively accessible despite its recommended age group. If you have some slightly experienced little players on hand, you can easily start playing with slightly younger comrades. However, from the very beginning you will have to work with the fact that you need to collaborate. Because collaboration is the key to success here.
Plus, if you have any other Marvel United pieces at home, there’s nothing stopping you from combining boxes for greatly increased replayability with new heroes and villains. If you’re a Spider-Verse fan, Marvel United: Spider Geddon is a great choice for those looking to venture into the Marvel Universe.
