X-Men: Mutant Revolution (2015)

About this game

In the aftermath of the Phoenix event, new mutants are appearing all over the earth. Wolverine, Cyclops, Magneto, and Storm each have a vision for the future, but will they unite humans with mutants — or will they tear the world apart? X-Men: Mutant Revolution is a head-to-head battle for the future of mutantkind in which 3-4 players play as Wolverine, Cyclops, Magneto, or Storm, leading their individual schools with unique powers and abilities and recruiting heroes and students in order to train them and send them on missions to spread their vision for mutants to the world. X-Men: Mutant Revolution is based on Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery from Gale Force Nine and will include four character miniatures with the HeroClix dial technology.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 4.
• Rules load. At 3.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
