26:01: How to play and a review of Thanos Rising: Avengers Infinity War
Quick note: In the review I kept referring to the red dice as “power” dice when I should have said “battle” dice. Also, USAopoly moved up the release of the game to the end of March.

Summary
While Thanos Rising might be a bit too abstract for those looking for immersion into all things Marvel and Avengers Infinity War, I found the game to be a fun co-op experience. The component quality is pretty nice (although the Thanos mini is overkill) and the game is easy to learn. I appreciate the fact this isn't a pushover game as you'll lose as often as you win. Keep in mind there's also plenty of luck though with both dice and the hero/villain deck.
REVIEW SCORE
Founder/Editor-in-chief of The Gaming Gang website and host of The Gaming Gang Dispatch and other TGG media, Jeff tackles any and all sorts of games but has a special fondness for strategy, conflict sims, and roleplaying games. Plus, he's certainly never at a loss for an opinion...
