This map was designed for the full All-In Kickstarter pledges
for all three seasons and Spidergeddon, but feel free to skip
over content you don’t have access to.
If you do not own the necessary components to battle some villains or unlock
some heroes, cross them off and continue moving along paths. Skip items and
rewards that are only connected to this villain and nothing else, except for
special items. For skipped villains, also cross off their point value, as you will
only count points for defeated villains. Aim for the highest possible score with
what you own! If you don’t own the Multiverse Core box, unlock any one star map
at the start of your campaign.
Rules // Version 2.1 // Designed by Dom2D
Goal
Make your way through the campaign map, unlocking
heroes to add to your roster, defeating villains and
collecting rewards. Collect items to open gates and
continue moving along more paths. Try to defeat all the
villains, collecting as many Victory Points as possible
before you run out of heroes!
- Reach for the Infinity Gauntlet and the M’Kraan crystals
to tackle the biggest threats and the most points!
- [NEW!] Explore new dimensions to unlock new heroes,
equipment, pets and face new threats!
Set-up
Print out the gigantic map or display it in an image editor
on a digital device. You’ll need to be able to circle and
check off things you’ve unlocked, villains you’ve defeated
and heroes you’ve unlocked or lost. Consider using the
following tracker for ease of play:
Marvel United Megaverse Tracker
Pick a starting point: Pick one of the two starting points
on the map - the Avengers’ big “A” or the X-Men’s big “X”.
The logos are part of the white path that you’ll follow to
explore the map!
[NEW!] IMPORTANT!!! Multiverse Starting Point: Also
immediately unlock the big star (bottom middle, in the
zone tagged with the word journey in the top left) as a
separate starting point, giving you access to Ironheart,
Captain Carter, and so on. BUT! Make sure to read the rules
about gates and stars further in this rulebook!
If you have played the previous campaign map, look for
sections marked [NEW!] for new rules!

Gameplay
From your starting point, follow the white path in any
direction. You will encounter Heroes, Villains, items and
gates, as well as other rewards and special elements.
When you encounter these elements, read the following
sections!
- The accessible path is anything you can move to
without being blocked by villains and gates.
- You can move back and forth on the path! Keep
exploring different directions to unlock the heroes you
want and the items you need!
- The X-Men and Avengers logos are part of the path!
Heroes:
Heroes are characters with a white/light blue outline.
When you encounter a Hero on the path, circle their icon to
show they are now unlocked and part of your roster. When
setting up a battle, you may pick any hero from your roster
of all circled heroes on all paths that aren’t blocked by
Villains or Gates.
Heroes will be removed if they lose a battle, so be careful!
If you run out of heroes, it’s game over (see Game End
section)!
- Heroes do not block the path.
[NEW!] I highly recommend using a campaign tracker
spreadsheet to track unlocked heroes. It’s available here:
Marvel United Megaverse Tracker
⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️
[NEW!] For each hero, note what map they were found in!
Heroes unlocked in the multiverse (zones with star gates)
cannot be used in the Av/X zones yet! And vice-versa,
