CMON Announces Marvel United: X-Men Coming Soon!
March 18, 2021 by brennon
CMON has announced that they are going to be returning to Kickstarter soon with Marvel United and the X-Men! Alongside Spin Master Games, this new campaign will expand upon the options available to fans of the game.

The original Marvel United brought together characters from across the comic book spectrum. The Avengers and many more joined together to take on deadly foes like Red Skull and Ultron in a one-to-four player game. Marvel United was designed to be quick and easy to play but with loads of tactical depth.
It has recently been arriving on people's gaming tables and has garnered quite a lot of positive feedback from the community. With that in mind, it's good to see them returning to add the X-Men into the mix!

A load of familiar faces have been showing up in their more chibi style. You've got fan favourites like Cyclops and Wolverine...

...and then the rather awesome Storm too. There are a lot of X-Men out there and I would imagine that CMON is going to be going DEEP into the comic books in order to find more and more interesting characters to add to Marvel United.

As well as the excellent heroes for Marvel United, this also opens up the rogue's gallery of villains that the X-Men have faced over the years. Of course, Magneto is going to be showing up.

I would imagine we're going to be seeing Mr Sinister, Apocalypse, Sabretooth, Mystique and more popping up as well. I do think that Marvel United fills a fun niche in the tabletop gaming world. It sits well between the card game, Marvel Champions and the miniatures game Marvel: Crisis Protocol. It's perfectly placed for someone who wants to paint up some fun characters without having to worry about an entire tabletop of terrain!
Are you going to be backing the new Marvel United Kickstarter?

Chibi X-Men. Cute.
Can’t take these tiny weird guys seriously when they’re all using diapers and underpants wrong.
Would be cool to have more modern renditions of them.
I’m thinking I might paint them in some different color schemes. For most of them, it wouldn’t be hard.
Reminds me of the X-Babies comics that they did years ago.
Years ago? You mean the good old days when comics were great!
Yep… long ago in the 1980’s… when Chris Claremont wrote X-Men… before the manga style art and the constant rebooting universe of ‘No More Mutants’, House of M, Age of Apocalypse etc.
I’m talking Mutant Massacre and Inferno… so long ago that Betsy Braddock was English… not a Ninja (or dead, or tattooed, or whatever else they done to her since).
And when Excalibur was awesome… Kitty, Kurt, Rachel, Brian, Meggan and Lockheed.
You’re a man after my own heart.
Great gamer pieces.
Zero Interest.
Shame high detailed “normal” miniatures would have been an instant purchase.
You’re playing Crisis Protocol- right?
Those minis are fantastic.
Surprised to see OTT giving CMON any coverage, much less coverage for another Marvel United campaign given how poorly they treated backers on the last one. I know everyone needs to do their own research but it would probably be a reasonable thing to mention that the last round was available at retail far before it shipped to backers. And, as far as I can tell, CMON’s response to backer upset was “Suck it!”
I wasn’t a backer but I figured that behavior would be the end of CMON on Kickstarter or anyone taking them seriously. Clearly I was wrong.
Did Storm start wearing white?
I remember a lot of the old comics would make her black outfit really shiny, and then she’d shoot lighting for which they’d do some very reflective coloring effects, so you couldn’t always tell that her outfit was black.
She did for a bit. She’s back to black now though.
