Thanos Rising Board Game Brings the Infinity Gauntlet to Your Table

USAOpoly is releasing a fantastic-looking co-op board game, Thanos Rising, where a group of players will attempt to recruit heroes and stop Thanos from collecting all the Infinity Stones he needs to power the Infinity Gauntlet and destroy the galaxy. The game is a dice and card game. We don’t have too many details yet, but based on USAOpoly’s previous record of great games with great components, I’m really looking forward to this. The game features most of the locations of the Cinematic Universe, as well as most of the heroes.

From the press release:

The cooperative dice and card game features an eye-catching 120 mm, custom-sculpted figure of Marvel villain Thanos among more than 190 intricate game components. The prominent centerpiece oversees a detailed galaxy setting that welcomes players to recruit their favorite heroes and join forces that will defeat the power-hungry despot on his mission to collect all six stones of the Infinity Gauntlet. Building upon the strengths of the characters on their team, as well as other players, winning requires critical thinking and communication to reach a common goal. The hour-long game provides context for those unfamiliar with the Marvel franchise, as well as a learning opportunity for newcomers to the hobby game world.

The components look great. The game releases on April 4th.
