Review on ๐Ÿฆธ X Men Insurrection Cooperative: Unite with Iconic Characters for an Epic Adventure! by Benjie Swindler

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice theme, missing components

FFG did a great job with the theme and skins. The gameplay has more advantages than other similar games like Thanos Rising. My biggest problem is with components. FFG gives you 16 characters plus 1 threat tracker base but only 7 plastic bases. $3.99 extra if you want 10 more After three games the black ink is already peeling off the bones. They don't give you enough dice to use as separate card success tokens. Success brands only make sense if all requirements on the line are met. I've found myself reassigning damage markers to cover single exact matches so other players can use the dice. This doesn't help in situations where a player partially meets the requirement (i.e. rolled 2 fights and applied that to the 5 fight requirement). You may need to put this on paper. Unnecessary cheap design solution from FFG. Get it right the first time and reflect it in the price. Dedicated gamers pay for a strong theme with quality components.
