The Final Understanding is crazy thematic to how the Superior Spiderman comic run ends, that's really cool! I love that the rest of the Inheritors are at least henchmen for Morlun. They're all really important in the Spidergeddon event.

24:50 That's not true. X-Men had 6 Heroes (Wolverine, Jean Grey, Beast, Cyclops, Storm, and Prof X), 2 Villains (Sabertooth and Juggernaut), and 2 Anti-Heroes (Magneto and Mystique). That is the exact layout as the Spider-Geddon set. Also, technically Juggernaut is an Anti-Hero because there is a set of Hero cards for him that were given away as a set of promos.

I'm a huge Spider-man buff, so seeing this set exist makes me giddy. I love Spider-verse and I hope they have even more Spider-verse characters down the line. I would even love to see a Venomized set as well.

Taskmaster was the third villain in the original core box

[LilBoyHexley]

Not power creep, but "interest creep". They've definitely balanced things so that S1 heroes are just as good with mostly only action symbols, but the decision space is just more thematic and cool with X-Men onwards.

"Mechanical Spider Rams" He has robot goats?

[MrCrixmadine]

The superior Spider-Man is pretty consistent with the comic. If anyone isn't we're aware, the superior Spider-Man is where doc Ock takes over Spiderman man's mind. But, is guided by Peter's consciousness to do the right thing up until the point he realizes he has to let Spiderman protect the city and gives up control

[CloudBuilderMetba]

Morlun and his henchmen are these immortal reality jumping vampires that hunted the spiders in Spider-verse comic event.

[Bleuchz]

Zee and Milla refer to power creep a bunch but its more like "feature" creep. Those core heroes on avg have more symbols on their cards which compensates for the "mutant" change of having more special cards. Thor and Korg, for example, are two of the stronger characters in the entire system.

[aaronst.pierre]

You guys are 100% correct in that Spidergeddon is not for new players.

But Spot was easy. But this was my knock on board game players vs. Card game players. Board game players will struggle much more defeating Villains.

X-men is easily the best core box. It's just built best.

Hey, i would really love where to buy it.
I cant seem to find it anywhere

[theearlyresetband]

Come on October! Can’t wait to order this!

[Rayzrs]

Im looking to buy Marvel/ X Men united. I want to get 2 sets to start with. Which 2 sets would you recommend?

[Pookiebear]

Isnt this the fourth core box or is multiverse the 4th one? There's so much content I cant keep track lol

[jaimearredondo]

Can't wait to have my copy next week, it looks amazing!

[Thebrodyman]

According to the latest Multiverse update, this is now scheduled to come out mid-November.
"We know you have been anxiously awaiting the release of Spider-Geddon. Unfortunately, we just got word from Spin Master that the street date had to be pushed back to Mid-November due to production issues. So, yeah, we'll all have to wait a little longer for our spider friends..."

[nicolasbazzano]

This seemed to be the “we really love the Spiderverse” review, but what’s the opinion of people like me who don’t care about the Spiderverse at all?

[cjpeach]

There is no power creep. Many times using characters like Black Widow from the og core set, who has more symbols and very consistent special ability is more useful than all these characters with more special cards, but they are situational and have less icons.

[epepo]

I think the generic equipment should come in retail core boxes. Don't get me wrong, I backed the KS so I'm getting them. But still, it's a lost opportunity. In this box, some people don't get equipment. In the multiverse box, the same. And the equipment that comes won't cover everyone on the past two core boxes either.

It's also the matter of equipment for everyone. Some people get 3, other 2, others 1. I'm still gonna give at least 2 equipment cards to everyone, between their own, and generic

[koalabrownie]

These spider-themed sets don't interest me. Especially when all of Spiderman's interesting villains are in Kickstarter exclusives.

[EEArmyMarvel]

Any sense of when the game is going to be available for purchase?
