Who it's for

Your group wants a loud, chaotic Marvel co-op filler that is over almost as fast as it starts.

Not for you if…

Real-time pressure and simultaneous shouting stress you out, since there is no calm turn order to fall back on.

About this game

5-Minute Marvel straps a sand timer to a stack of Marvel villain cards and dares your team of heroes to beat the clock. Everyone plays cards simultaneously and in real time, no waiting for turns, just grabbing the icons a villain demands before the sand runs out, refilling your hand on the fly and yelling coordination across the table. Each hero has a distinct deck and powers, so Captain America solves problems differently than Black Widow does, and figuring out who covers which icon fast becomes the whole game. It is chaotic, loud, over almost as soon as it starts, and somehow still tense enough to make everyone lean in.
