Marvel Studios: The Infinity Saga – Capture: The Ultimate Battle Game (2023)

From Marvel: Avengers The Infinity Saga comes Capture: The Ultimate Battle Game, a game for 2-5 players, aimed at ages 8+ and takes approx 20-30min to complete. To claim victory, use Marvel's most powerful heroes and formidable villains to CAPTURE the Infinity Stones and avoid other players' brutal tactics! Strategic, frenetic and highly interactive, CAPTURE features 30 Marvel heroes and villains and features official character art (ie actors' likenesses) from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. HOW TO PLAY HEADLINES: Players are each dealt 8 cards and on their turn can do as many actions as they choose. There are 4 action categories: Play a pair of the same coloured cards to CAPTURE an available stone (on the board) Play 3 of the same coloured cards to attempt to CAPTURE that coloured stone from another player Play a pair of GAUNTLET cards to CAPTURE up to 2 available stones Play a VILLAIN card on another player. All 6 Villains have a different impact and can be defended by a different HERO. Once players have completed their actions they can then choose to discard additional cards, drawing back up 8 cards to finish their turn. But watch out for rare CHILDREN OF THANOS cards when replenishing! If players pick up one of these, they must immediately spin the game board and observe the impact- which could result in placing a stone back on the board! Capture features basic set collection mechanics, many risk-reward trade offs, a slight vindictive edge and has received plentiful positive feedback in our 4 years of playtesting with the Australian gaming community! —description from the designer
