10 More Marvel-Themed Board Games
Like many people last year, we were in complete disbelief of Avengers: Infinity War and felt helpless knowing it would be a full year before we would have some kind of closure. We decided to make the most of it by playing the best Marvel-themed board games including one that allowed us to take on Thanos on our own. These small victories helped us keep Marvel on our mind during the off season.
As we soak up the introduction of Captain Marvel and anxiously await the release of Avengers: End Game, we’re biding our time by once again adding Marvel-themed board games to our agenda and we encourage you to do the same. This second list of Marvel-themed games includes a variety of characters in the Marvel family allowing you to get your Avengers fix plus more! Most of these are readily available on Amazon or at your local game store so stock up and have a party to get everyone ready for the big release!
5 Minute Marvel
This frantic and chaotic card game keeps everyone on edge as players must defeat an endless horde of enemies before time’s up. Everyone plays at the same time altogether. Slap down cards to match symbols on the Villain cards to destroy them, then swipe the cards to the side. Battle the next villain and the next to get to the ultimate battle against the all-powerful Thanos.
Captain Marvel – Secret Skrulls
Captain Marvel: Secret Skrulls is a hidden identity game where players take on the roles of their favorite Marvel characters, including Captain Marvel herself, to defend Earth in an intergalactic war against shape-shifting Skrulls in disguise. Players must decide whom to trust, defend their alliance, and restore the planet’s virtue. Based on the popular game mechanic of BANG!
Cardline: Marvel
Cardline: Marvel is similar to Cardline: Animals — but with superheroes and other characters from the Marvel Comics universe! It is a card game played with approximately 100 cards. Both sides of each card depict a character and its name, while its weight, IQ and fighting ability are printed on only one side of the card. For each game, players decide before playing which of the three statistics they’re comparing.

This release is perfect for beginners and Dice Masters veterans alike. Even if you’ve never read X-Men comics, this is an exciting entry point to the adventures of Xavier’s top students!

Great list! They all sound like so much fun. My favorite is Captain Marvel – Secret Skrulls.

Marvel Fluxx is my favorite.
My favorite Marvel game isn’t here
These are some fun games! I liked Captain Marvel – Secret Skrulls
It’s so hard to pick a favourite, but I really like Cardline: Marvel.
I’ve played Hail Hydra before but would love to try 5 minute Marvel
HeroClix – Marvel Strike Teams is my favourite
My favorite Marvel game is Headbanz
I like hidden identity games so I would probably like Captain Marvel – Secret Skrulls the best.
Marvel hedbanz is my fave
Captain Marvel Secret Skrulls is my favorite!
My fiance would likely finally play hedbanz with us if we had the marvel version. Of course, I would more than likely never figure out what mine is, so I’d always lose!
My favorite is Marvel Munchkin
