CMON Games Doing Marvel Zombies board game?

[Derek Metaltron]

For their 50th board game CMON is partnering with Spinmaster (who they worked with to do Marvel United and X-Men United) on a Marvel board game, which is now almost certainly a Marvel version of their Zombicide franchise with the Marvel Zombies. This is the crazy big Galactus figure (which has the tiny Silver Surfer mini below him) so I dread to think how expensive this will be! XD Galactus appears to be zombified as well.

Going by Galactus and Silver Surfer's involvement I assume this will be heavily inspired by the original Marvel Zombies comics, so I could speculate we'll see modes for survivors vs zombies, zombies vs zombies and zombies vs Galactus. Maybe even a Army of Darkness crossover with Ash Williams? Zombicide campaigns with CMON always appear to be crazy in content so I would expect a LOT of additions.

Glad you posted this as I had not heard of it before.

Look at tiny Surfer, lol.

When will this be available?

Apparently sometime early in 2022. I am dreading the very possible likelihood of Knights Models doing Batman: Escape From Arkham at the same time, which also looks crazy expensive. I'm currently debating if to cancel my pledge for the Skyrim game over on Gamefound so I can manage to get both of these...

Also Dice Tower just unboxed a non zombie Galactus on their channel, which suggests that we'll get both normal and zombified versions of characters in the game.

Thanks!

I hope this will not be too expensive.

I also never heard about the Marvel X-Men United game. Have you heard of it or played that one?

It's basically a X-Men version of Marvel United, which is a board game with chibified minis of Marvel Heroes for one to four players who have to combine their abilities via small decks to defeat a single villain (controlled by the game itself in most cases). Both were done as Kickstarter campaigns though some of it should be out at retail. X-Men was the second season of the game and adds Vigilantes (who are playable as either heroes or villains), team vs team mechanics via the Blue and Gold expansion (trying to outdo the other team) and having a player as the villain. Each villain has different rules and mechanics and objectives they're aiming for, and there were special campaign boxes in the Kickstarter for Thanos, the Sinister Six, Apocalypse and the Sentinels.

Thank you so much for the info!
