to play marvel united so for everyone joining in if you are enjoying the content you want to help me out here click on subscribe and like and do all those things i will be doing some cinematic gameplays of this and a full view on the game so stick around it's gonna be it's gonna be a ton of fun tell me right now and right before we start tell me in the comments below who your favorite mario hero is and who are you excited to play with in this game okay so first you want to go ahead and put the mission report december 16 1991 okay sorry i can help you okay sorry you want to go ahead and put the mission guide at the center of the table and then put the three mission cards in the slots at the bottom it doesn't matter what order they're in now from there you want to pick which villain you want to play with so we'll go ahead and play with red skull since that's what the game recommends for your very first run through put the villain dashboard at the top of the mission guide and then based on however many players you're playing with you want to fill that number with the number of health tokens on the dashboard we'll be setting up today for a two player game so red skull has four health now if the villain has a tracker on the bottom put the villain tracker cube in the zero space and then randomly pick six locations and make a circle around the mission guide you can put blue civilian tokens in their marked slots and red thug tokens in their slots as well next up we have the villain threat cards shuffle these and put one face up on the slots at the bottom of each location so they should cover up the end of turn effects you can also add the threat tokens so the slots right next to them on the left corner and then put the health tokens according to the number shown on that card next shuffle the villains master plan deck and put it face down next to a random location and finally put the villain's miniature in that location as well now it is time to choose your hero today we're going to play as iron man as well as with captain america you can place your mini on the location opposite of the villain shuffle your matching hero's deck and then put it face down right next to you from there draw three cards from the top of the deck and it is time to face off against captain america's ultimate arch nemesis red skull or whoever you're facing off against ultimate question of the day what is the point of marvel united well of course it is to defeat the villain and you're gonna do so by dealing damage to them until their hp runs down to zero however you can damage them until you complete two out of the three available missions now here is how you play the game and i'm gonna just say res go from here and now to make it more personable but of course just you know substitute with whichever villain you're playing with red skull will always start the game by drawing the top card from the master plan deck and you're gonna place it face up on the table thematically you're actually going to form an arc around the location cards and this is going to be your storyline each master plan card is going to tell you different parts that you have to do in order from top to bottom there are four kinds of effects first is the movement icon this symbol means red skull is going to move clockwise depending on the number shown in this case he's going to move three spaces in this direction if the threat card has this target arrow symbol and the location red skull ends his movement in even if the movement is zero then make sure you resolve that effect right away in this case it is brainwashing so that effect activates and now heroes in this location and in adjacent locations all take one crisis token if you draw a bam effect you're going to be in some deep shilling trouble shimmering trouble a bam effect is pretty much like their special ability so you're going to follow whatever's listed on their villain dashboard red skull in this case is going to deal one damage to each hero in this location and increase the fear track unfortunately that's not all because villains will often have henchmen so any band effects shown on thread cards are activated as well here crossbones is going to deal damage to your heroes and so will madame hydra if you're in their location okay so we talked about how villains are moving across the board talked about their band effect next up is adding thugs and civilians for this you just match whatever's listed on the tiles starting in clockwise order so for this card i would add one thug on the left first and one civilian going in a circle to add one more thug and one civilian on the right and then i end at red skull's location in the center to add in two thugs and two civilians and then activate the threat in this location as well oh we're actually running to a problem here because we can't add in all the thugs and civilians here because it's going to be full so unfortunately you're going to have to activate the overflow effect so each villain is going to have an effect called an overflow on their villain dashboard in this case for red skull his fair track would go up by one for each thug and civilian that i can't add so because of this overflow effect i move up the fair track by three spaces and the fourth and last effect is a special effect and all you do is just simply follow the directions listed on the card that is all for red skull's turn and now the fun part is time for us heroes to fight back so on your turn you draw the top card from the deck into your hand there is no hand limit and if the deck runs out you just don't draw a card and then you play a card onto the story line which is going to be again that circle around the playing area the card you play will always go to the right of the last card played now you're gonna see a couple of different types of symbols listed on the bottom of each hero card you can perform these actions in any order you want and you can also use the actions listed at the bottom of the previous hero card as well but of course if you go first then that means that you won't have any benefits to go off of since you went first the green symbol is movement which means you can move in an adjacent location in any direction this symbol is the attack symbol where you can deal one damage in the location that you're currently in thugs will only have one health so attacking them removes them from that location and you can put them in the defeated thugs mission henchmen are a little bit stronger than that maybe even a lot stronger than that so for this one you're going to move one health token for each damage that you're dealing on their space so those are thugs and henchmen but remember you can't attack the villain yet until you completed at least two missions once you do and you're currently on their location then you just remove their tokens from the dashboard the yellow star symbol is a heroic action symbol which lets you rescue civilians by taking their tokens from the location and moving them onto the rescue civilians mission a heroic action can also be used on an empty slot of a threat card in your current location so you can also clear that threat by placing a heroic action token on those slots quick side note even if henchmen are threats you do have to attack them and reduce their hp to zero in order to clear that tile and the last common symbol you're gonna run into is the wild symbol being a wild it will count for moving attacking or a heroic action every hero deck will also have special effects that you can use before or after your actions again just read through these and follow its listed directions and also during the resolve step if your hero has one of these action tokens now is the time that you can use those particular tokens just in case you're wondering where you get those tokens from iron man and captain america have abilities that give you tokens so on your turn you are drawing a card playing a card resolving effects playing action tokens if you have them and then lastly is using your location effect if you cleared a threat in your location you can choose to use the end of turn effect listed at that location and then the next player in clockwise order goes every time three hero cards have been added to the storyline then it's the villain's turn and you draw a master plan card and repeat their turn once you finish the rescue civilians defeat thugs or clear threats mission then you're putting the villain under pressure and now they start taking turns and adding a master plan card after every two hero cards so for example i completed my first mission by filling up the rescue civilians card and then red skull gets pressured and starts pumping out master plans after every two cards i play i complete a second mission and then now i can attack red skull directly by being in the same space as him and using the attack action you don't have to complete a third mission if you don't want to but if you do then all heroes get to draw one card right away and the last few things you have to discard one card from your hand for each damage that you take if you discard the last card from your hand you are officially ko'd and have to lay down your game piece meaning your hero gets ignored by all game effects you then finish up the villain's turn and at the start of your next turn you can put your hero back upright and draw four more cards to start you win of course if you manage to reduce the villain's health to zero but you lose in three different conditions a if they complete their villainous plot listed on their dashboard b if the villain has to draw a master plan card and they have no card to draw from their deck or c you run out of cards completely from your hand or from your own hero deck and that my friends is how you play marvel united i hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and hopefully i hope you get this game to your next gaming
