Thanos Rising: Avengers Infinity War (2018) is a cooperative dice-and-card game for two to four players. You recruit heroes, assemble a team and face Thanos and his villainous forces, who want to collect all six Infinity Stones, power the Infinity Gauntlet and wreak havoc on reality. You build on the strengths of your team and of each other, and winning takes clear thinking and a lot of table talk. Dice get rolled, re-rolled and locked in, and open drafting decides who joins your team. About ninety minutes of teamwork against a threat from the movies.

Who it's for

You like Marvel and want a cooperative dice-and-card game that rewards table talk, ideally with a group of four.

Not for you if…

You want a competitive game or low luck. The dice can and will turn on you, which is part of the drama.

Vibe's take

Cooperative and chatty. You talk through dice results and team combinations together, and the stones keep the threat visible. Re-rolling gives you a feeling of control, but the plan still needs your whole table.
