Things to Keep in MindA significant point of frustration for users is the difficulty in understanding the game, primarily due to an unclear and poorly organized rulebook. This can lead to extended setup times and challenges in learning the mechanics, with some players finding it prohibitive to even begin playing. Why You'll Like ItThe game is highly praised for its deep and immersive integration of X-Men lore, with every component and mechanic designed to evoke the comic universe. It offers a refined worker placement system with added complexity and strategic depth, appealing to both casual players seeking a challenge and experienced euro gamers.
