If playing with very young children (2-4 years old), we often don't include them in the player count at all when determing the number of cards to use as statedin the rules. Play as one of Marvel's ten greatest Heroes, each with their own special ability and unique Hero Cards.

Marvel heroes to choose from and 6 progressively difficult Marvel bosses delivers strong re-playability. You’re all in it together—either your party completes the mission and moves onto the next one, or you all perish!Using the official rules, this is really a game for older kids and adults because the timer makes it very challenging. The core gameplay does not change, but there is enough variability between the heroes and challenges to keep things entertaining. Choosing when to deploy one of your Hero Cards can mean the difference between failure and success on your mission! The particular heroes chosen made seem odd as some more obscure ones were included, but it can also be a fun way to learn about some new heroes.

Once the Jarvis-hosted five-minute timer starts, the race is on to defeat all the villains in the mission. Cantrip is the product of tireless community effort with four co-owners each bringing our own skills and love of all things gaming to the table. This is a great text to dip in and out of as it contains short stories about different popular Marvel characters.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. 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).
