Anyone else pick this game up? It is amazing and definately allows for a plethura of expansions! Classic Marvel roots and just has a great comic feel to it from game play to the look and feel of it. Nexus Games (War of the Ring) & Fantasy Flight Games bring this game of Marvel Mayhem to the light of day and I urge folks that are fans of Marvel to pick this up!
Here is the write up from the site:
The heroes of the Marvelâ„¢ universe come to life in MARVEL HEROES: the Board Game! Thwarting robberies, solving mysteries, and rescuing citizens from danger are all in a day's work for members of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and the Marvel Knights ... unless there's a super villain involved!
In MARVEL HEROES, 2-4 players each take on the role of a popular super-team straight from the pages of Marvel comics, including such well-known heroes as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, and the Fantastic Four. Simultaneously, they take the role of an evil Mastermind, whether it's the Kingpin of Crime, Dr. Doom, the Red Skull, or the mutant terrorist Magneto. They will fight crime and progress their story as super heroes, and work to complete their villainous plans as Masterminds, all competing to be the most successful at both tasks.
The action unfolds in New York City, on an impressively detailed and accurate map depicting Manhattan Island as well as Brooklyn and Queens. Players will respond to dangerous and crimnal events, represented by Headlines, that crop up across the city, sending members of their super hero team to rescue citizens, fight crime, and battle super villains. Meanwhile, the dastardly Masterminds work to their own purposes - and especially to defeat their Nemesis super-team!

I always take the Fantastic Four when we play since they are one of my favourite teams. Destroyer likes to take The Avengers. This game has great components and nice plastic figures for each team and their Nemesis. I have been in the process of painting/mild touching up the paint jobs on them but as is they still look good. When I get around to taking photos during a game I will post some pics here. Anyone else have this and what are your thoughts? How about those thinking of getting it?
