Description

The Mad Titan Thanos seeks the Infinity Stones to bend the universe to his indomitable will, but courageous heroes are assembling to stand in his path to ultimate power. Based on the beloved card game and set in the Marvel Universe, Infinity Gauntlet: A Love Letter Game features the elegant mechanics of the original, re-imagined in a one-vs-many twist for thrilling team play. While one player takes on the role of Thanos on a crusade to change the universe as we know it, 1-5 other players must deploy iconic heroes to defeat him before he can achieve his aims.

Throughout the game, players take turns drawing a card and playing a card, then executing its effect. Hero players can call upon the likes of Iron Man, Spider-man, Thor, and Scarlet Witch for their abilities to battle and gather intel about their opponent’s schemes. A worthy adversary, Thanos plays with a two-card hand, drawing from his own deck of minions and powerful Infinity Stones. The heroes will have to use their abilities in strategic combinations to knock his health down to zero before he can do the same to them—or find all six Infinity Stones and win with a snap of his fingers. Who will prevail in this battle for the universe?

Quotes (from this video)
  • All right, don't tell anybody, man. Got some Gen Con coffee.
  • So, this is a tabletop RPG tabletop game, but I want to show you how cool the terrain is.
  • We're in line for the Asmodee booth.
  • So, Josh is in line for Neroscape TCG and I'm like, "Since you're here, I really want to get Dinab."
  • It's a war game.
  • The Number Nine, you play cards of the same value, check the table, if you beat someone's set, and then create new combos and be the first out of cards to win.
  • You all know what I love these solo games.
  • You know, I said earlier that 10 to 15 slots is my maximum. See, that right there is what we call a parlay. It's just a general guideline. I may have exceeded that already.

Quotes (from this video)
  • So, the highest ranked game I haven't played is Eclipse: Second Dawn.
  • Each year I play more more games and each year I have played fewer of the top 100. BGG's top 100 is turning into heavy game central, for sure.
  • Daydream is a cozy roll and write.
  • Stop telling me your games are cozy.
  • Terraria on the box says 45 minutes per player. I don't even know what what was going on there because someone was like, you lots of publishers lie about time. No one lies that that egregiously. It is not even remotely 45 minutes a player.
  • I don't like Imperial at all. There's my review of
  • Wise Wizards definitely said they're kind of on the uh that they're that they're struggling with a lot of stuff. So, I hope it works out pretty well.
  • That was Zen Camilla, and they said it was really really hard, which made me not really particularly want to play it that strongly. I like to play games that are easier, not as difficult.
  • Um, there's there's always things we're working on. Uh there's something small bag that we're working on. I can't really talk about that. Um, yet, but you'll know about that in a few weeks.

  • OPR is the GURPS of wargaming.
  • 40K rules as deep, I would call it artificially deep.
  • Star Wars Legion terrain is almost always the best.
  • OPR skirmish is a breath of fresh air compared to Kill Team.
  • The damned stuff is supposed to be out, but it's not out yet, unfortunately.

Pros
  • Simple turn structure: draw a card, then play a card.
  • All played cards are visible on the table for clarity.
  • Two-player variant exists for different player counts.
  • Based on Love Letter, which suggests approachable, light card play.
Cons
  • Heroes on the same team must keep their hands secret from each other, which can complicate coordination.
Thematic elements
  • Love Letter-inspired card play with Marvel-themed combat between heroes and Thanos.
  • Thanos is trying to gather the six Infinity Stones while the heroes are assembled to stop him.
  • Asymmetric, hidden-information hand management with public card play and varied abilities.
Comparison games
  • Love Letter
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • deck_reshuffle_and_rules — If the hero deck empties, all face-up hero cards are shuffled to form a new deck; if Thanos's deck runs out, the game proceeds with a simplified rule where Thanos cannot be played and the hero player may have additional turns in two-player mode.
  • defeat_and_replace — When a card is defeated, the card is placed face up in front of its owner and the owner draws a replacement from their deck.
  • draw-and-play — On a turn, a player draws one card from their deck and then plays one card from their hand.
  • life_track — Heroes lose life when a hero card is defeated; losing all life ends the game with Thanos winning.
  • power_tokens — Power tokens can be spent during a fight to add +2 to a card's value; only one Power token can be spent per fight, tokens are returned to the supply after the fight, and a replacement is used if the supply runs out.
  • secret_fight_resolution — In a fight, players secretly compare a card from their hands; the lower-valued card is defeated; ties result in neither card being defeated.
  • stones_and_effects — Infinity Stones and Thanos-related cards have special effects (e.g., mind stone, space stone, reality stone) that modify combat or card behavior.
  • Time Track — Heroes lose life when a hero card is defeated; losing all life ends the game with Thanos winning.
