Fact: Marvel’s Avengers are awesome. Powerful superheroes with cool superpowers and interesting stories? Yes, yes, and yes! Sometimes, though, when watching an Avenger’s movie or reading the comics, it’s not enough to witness it. You want to be part of the action. And in a way, you can be! These are the best Marvel board games that will put you into the action and allow you to join the epic team of Avengers.

Marvel Avengers board games can be separated into two categories. First, there are several games that are unique to the Marvel universe. Designers made these games with common board game mechanics, but they are completely unique games. Second, designers took some of your favorite board games, like Codenames and Munchkin, and gave them a Marvel makeover. Each category includes the absolute best Marvel Avengers board games.

Unique Marvel Board Games

These board games are unique to the Marvel universe. Each game stands on its own and allows full immersion into the Avengers. These make the perfect games for someone who wants a new board gaming experience to go with their love of all things Marvel.

Legendary: A Marvel Deck-Building Game

Legendary is a deck-building game much like Magic the Gathering and Dominion. Players can play as several Marvel heroes, including the Avengers and the X-Men. They will team up to defeat an evil mastermind like Magneto, Loki, or Dr. Doom.

There’s a twist, though: players need to work together to make sure the villain doesn’t complete their scheme. But if they stop the villain, then the player who collected the most cards from successful defeats will win.

This game has become so popular on its own, there are multiple expansions you can buy. These expansions allow you to play as more heroes and defeat more villains.

Thanos Rising

A perfect accompaniment to Avengers: Infinity War, players work together in this cooperative game to stop Thanos from gathering all the Infinity Stones. Thanos Rising requires players to strategize which heroes they will recruit, along with which villains to kill and when. Thanos, however, will do the same. Everyone will need to think ahead and work together to save the world from Thanos’ diabolical plan!

Hail Hydra

Who’s good, and who’s evil? You can’t be sure in Hail Hydra. Some of you will play as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, while others will play as Hydra operatives. Agents must work out which players are secretly Hydra operatives, while Hydra operatives want to destroy the city. Whichever team completes their objective first wins.

Marvel United

It just makes sense that there would be an Avengers board game where the players work together as heroes to defeat the villains. In Marvel United, that’s exactly what you do. Villains will reveal different master plans, which in turn requires players to choose which of their hero powers to use to stop the villains. Great for families, this board game also has a solo option for players who want to be the hero all on their own.

Wakanda Forever

Is Black Panther your favorite Marvel hero? Then you need to own Wakanda Forever. Each player will be a member of one of the five tribes who is competing for the throne of Black Panther. Use dice, unique powers, and upgraded tech to claim the throne and win the game.

Reskins of Your Favorite Board Games

For those who already love board games and want a Marvel twist to their favorites, these are for you. You won’t need to learn a new ruleset for these games, but you can if you want to!

Marvel Villainous

As a reskin of a more modern board game, Villainous, this game is the best Avengers board game for a Marvel fan. In all Villainous games, players play as their favorite villains instead of their favorite heroes. You win depending on your villain’s attributes and decks, and you win when you complete your villain’s unique goal. Each player can choose to play as Hela, Ultron, Taskmaster, Killmonger, and of course Thanos.

5-Minute Marvel

Hurry up! In 5-Minute Marvel, players work together in this cooperative game to defeat the Marvel villains with their superheroes, but they only have five minutes to do so. Join cards together to overcome obstacles and defeat minor bad guys to eventually defeat the bosses like Thanos and Ultron. This card game is full of fast fun.

Codenames Marvel

New board game players love Codenames and for good reasons. Codenames is an awesome team game that mixes strategy and fun. In Codenames Marvel, each team’s spymaster will try to get their teammates to guess the necessary Avengers on the map. They do this by giving clues about words and images from everyone’s favorite superhero universe.

Marvel Splendor

A game about collecting jewels makes perfect sense for an Avengers board game when considering the infinity stone story line. In this version of Splendor, players aim to collect fragments of infinity stones with the help of different Avengers to claim the gauntlet and win the game.

Munchkin Marvel

Kick down the door! Fight the monster! Grab the treasure! Reach level 10! That’s all you need to do to win Munchkin Marvel. With over 150 cards that feature iconic Marvel characters and a unique die, this reskin of Munchkin will be a hit among board gamers and Marvel fans alike.

Marvel Avengers Trouble

For a more classic board game experience, check out Marvel Avengers Trouble. It comes with figurines for your favorite Avengers including Thor, Iron Man, and the Hulk. Roll the dice by popping the Pop-O-Matic in the center. If players roll Captain America’s shield, then he will aid that player’s heroes in their question to make it home safely.

Marvel Fluxx

Fluxx comes in a wide variety of unique card games with different themes, but each one has the same basic premise. Players aim to complete active goals by pairing up “Keeper” cards to win the game. Be careful, though! The rules change frequently.

Marvel Fluxx is a great version of the game, requiring pairs like “Wakanda Forever” with the Black Panther and Shuri to win, along with obstacles like the Thanos snap to overcome.
