The players place the top card of the Master Plan deck face-up on the table. This is the start of the Storyline. The first player draws a card then plays a card face up in the Storyline. Subsequent turns are similar, but players can perform actions on the previous 2 hero cards in addition to their own. Heroes win if they complete 2 of the 3 missions and deal enough damage to knock the villain out. The players lose if the villain&#8217;s plot is successful or if they run out of Master Plan cards. They also lose if a Hero runs out of cards in their hand and deck.

There are a number of expansions and extra characters, so a more compact solution may be helpful. The issue of storing the hero and master plan cards alone is simple. For example, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/trading-card\/trading-card-boxes\/single-row\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cardboard box<\/a> of the appropriate size is good enough, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/trading-card-dividers-horizontal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Horizontal Card Dividers<\/a> to divide the characters. However, this doesn&#8217;t hold the villain cards, dashboard, or locations. A better option is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/card-game-box-black-white\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3 Row Game Box<\/a>. With a bottom spacer removed, along with one of the partitions, the box holds every card. If you plan to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/catalogsearch\/advanced\/result\/?sku=1-DG-CLE\">sleeve your cards<\/a>, account for the extra depth of sleeved cards. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/board-game-bit-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bit Boxes<\/a> fit in the 3 Row Card Game Box to hold the various tokens. Unpainted miniatures can fit in the box as well, turning it to an all-in-one solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-3Row-CGB-1024x657.jpg\" alt=\"Marvel United cards and tokens organized in BCW 3-Row box\" class=\"wp-image-5825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-3Row-CGB-1024x657.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-3Row-CGB-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-3Row-CGB-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-3Row-CGB-1536x986.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-3Row-CGB-2048x1314.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-3Row-CGB-467x300.jpg 467w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the nature and detail of the minis, players will likely want to paint them. In this case, special consideration needs to be taken. A simple, effective, and inexpensive option is to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/sorting-tray-storage-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sorting Tray Box<\/a> along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/card-box-monster-pads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monster Pads<\/a> in each of the cells. A foam pad is placed at the bottom of each cell before placing the minis. Each cell will hold 2 or 3 miniatures comfortably. For maximum protection, you may consider limiting to one figure per cell. Regardless of the number, another monster pad is placed over the minis. While there is extra space, the fit is tight, making movement unlikely. Cutting a monster pad in half to place over the top layer of foam will ensure no movement happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-Card-Sorting-Box-MPads-1024x694.jpg\" alt=\"Painted and unpainted miniatures for Marvel United in BCW card sorting box with Monster Pads\" class=\"wp-image-5826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-Card-Sorting-Box-MPads-1024x694.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-Card-Sorting-Box-MPads-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-Card-Sorting-Box-MPads-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-Card-Sorting-Box-MPads-1536x1042.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-Card-Sorting-Box-MPads-2048x1389.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marvel-United-Card-Sorting-Box-MPads-442x300.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Marvel United is a game with surprising depth, along with well-made minis.
