Playing Around – Unmask Some Skrulls

With the growing popularity of Captain Marvel (thanks to the blockbuster movie), it’s no surprise that the character already has some games out. A new one from USAopoly is a hidden identity game where players need to determine who’s on their side and who’s a Skrull in disguise. 

For 4-7 players, Captain Marvel: Secret Skrulls lets you play as one of the many popular characters from the movie, including Nick Fury, Phil Coulson, Maria Rambeau or Captain Marvel herself. You need to keep Earth safe from the shape-shifting Skrulls as you decide who to trust and defend your alliances.

Gameplay is based on the 2002 award-winning game BANG! Though players know which character each other is, the roles of those characters (that is, whether they’re Skrull) are kept secret. As the game is for ages 8 and up, the rules and play are relatively straightforward. Plus, it can take as little as 30 minutes to play.
