I'm not a big fan of Codenames, and I don't watch superhero movies, so this game is not a match for me. I got it for the kids, but they don't play it. Seems like you'd have to be a huge Marvel fan to play the game, and it seems like you'd have a hard time finding the right crowd to play it with.

So it's exactly what you think it is, if you've ever played Codenames. The Marvel theme creates two problems. The first is practical, in that because it's all Marvel stuff, what you really end up testing isn't your command of Marvel lore so much as your understanding of your teammates' knowledge. That's a weird thing to test. But this is surmountable with the right crowd. Less surmountable is that the fun of Codenames is in finding clever ways to associate words by using different meanings or connections. But there just aren't many ways to associate "Baron von Strucker" or "Attilan." The specific theming neuters exactly what makes the game fun. I still like Marvel things, but I'd rather just play Codenames.

This seems best with players who are all up to date on their Marvel knowledge. Not so good otherwise.
