Professor X,The X-Men #1
Fifty miles north of New York City, Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters may seem like just another affluent private school for exceptional students.

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announceX-Men: Mutant Insurrection, a fast-paced, cooperative, dice-driven card game for one to six players!
Designed by Richard Launius and Brandon Perdue,X-Men: Mutant Insurrectioninvites you to travel across the globe on death-defying missions to recruit new mutants, capture criminals, protect innocent lives, and battle against some of the most iconicX-Menvillains. Youll build a team of mutants, with characters like Rogue, Wolverine, and Storm joining forces with Shadowcat, Magik, and Forge. Eight distinct scenarios await, each with their own challenges, and each leading to a no-holds-barred showdown against villains like Magneto, Dark Phoenix, or the Hellfire Club. The Blackbird is ready to launchjoin your team and fight for the future!
Whenever you start playingX-Men: Mutant Insurrection, youll find yourself pitted against an undeniable threat. The X-Men may learn of a secret lab using mutants as test suspects, Jean Grey may be consumed by the power of the Phoneix Force, or Magneto may declare his intentions to reshape the world under the leadership of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
Your mission begins with the plot card and the story cards that it brings into play. By following the trail of these story cards, your team can accelerate toward a showdown with the dark forces arrayed against you. For example, when youre playingThe Brotherhood of Mutantsscenario, your first steps are indicated by theXavier’s Dreamstory card. The briefing brought by Xaviers Dream shows that youll need to complete missions around the world to advance to the next part of the scenario! But what exactly goes into taking on a mission inX-Men: Mutant Insurrection?
At the start of each round, you and your fellow heroes are onboard the Blackbird, ready to fly around the world and take on any missionsuch as a battle with the villainous mutant,Avalanche!Every mission card features of a series of objectives, each with its own requirements of power, teamwork, and fighting ability. For example, if youre taking on Avalanche, youll need to complete all three objectives (in any order) if youre going to complete the mission!
Different missions can have very different requirements and youll have to carefully choose which mutants are going to tackle a mission, because each of the games sixteen mutants boasts their own dice and special ability. Facing down Avalanche means that youll have a fight on your hand, and youll probably be taking some damage along the way. For a scrappy mission like this, youre going to want heroes with plenty of red dice to pump out damage, likeWolverineandCyclops.
Cyclops and Wolverine deploy to the Avalanche mission, attempting to take down the villainous mutant!
After youve chosen which mission youre going to take on, its time to roll your dice! Wolverine and Cyclops will each have a chance to defeat Avalanche, but you leap forward with Cyclops to take the first swing. Even though Wolverine isnt leading the charge this turn, hes still able to assist, and Cyclops can benefit from Wolverines assist card, gathering two red dice and two yellow dice from his own card, plus another red die and a blue die from Wolverinesassist card.
Cyclops attempts the main mission, but he can also benefit from the dice and special ability on Wolverine’s assist card!
In order to take down Avalanche, youll have to complete all three of his objectivesbut even if you cant finish all three objectives in a single turn, youll still be able to soften him up for Wolverine. As Cyclops, you roll your pool of dice, and you have two chances to reroll any number of dice in search of the symbols that you need. You must be cautious, howeverAvalanche has a special villainy effect, and if you want to reroll any dice showing that symbol, youll have to take two damage!
After taking two rerolls, Cyclops has the results to complete two of Avalanche’s objectives.
After taking your two re-rolls, you end up with seven fight, a power, a teamwork, and a villainy, as shown above. This is enough to complete the first and third objectives on Avalanches mission card, though youll also need to take a damage to finish the first objective. Theres only one objective left, and hopefully Wolverine can finish the job! If Wolverine finishes the mission with his dice, youll resolve theSuccessoutcome, but if any objectives remain uncompleted after each of the heroes have taken their turns, the heroes must suffer theFailureoutcome and return to the Blackbird.
Of course, the X-Men have plenty of tools that they could call upon. New mutants can be found around the world, such asRictororCypher,and theyre eager to help out if you take them with you on mission. Special training lets you bank up tokens that can be spent to complete objectives, and you may even have the chance to forge a powerful bond with another hero at the table, such asLoveorCamaraderiegiving you each helpful abilities so long as the two bonded heroes are deployed to the same mission.
The threat track is constantly advancing, and if it reaches 15, the X-Men will lose the game!
There are evil forces arrayed against you however, and they wont stop while the X-Men are still alive. After the mission phase each round, threat will increase, pushing the heroes towards defeat. Threat cards can lead to devastating events or dangerous Sentinels that deploy to missions and make them even more difficult to defeat.
A bond like Love can be a powerful boonbut if it gives way to Regret, it could tear the team apart from the inside.
Even the bonds between heroes can become twisted or broken. Love may turn toRegret,and Camaraderie may give way toBetrayaland youll have to reckon with the consequences of these negative bonds if those heroes are ever deployed to the same mission.
Every scenario culminates with a massive showdown against the villain!
Completing missions and advancing through the story forms the heart of gameplay inX-Men: Mutant Insurrection, but its always leading up to a massive showdown against the villain.
