CMON Marvel Zombies Expansion Fantastic Four Under Siege

When you want a cooperative game night built around a superhero showdown, this Marvel Zombies expansion brings the Fantastic Four into a New York overrun by the undead.

You can play in Heroic Mode, trying to save the city, or take the Zombie route and turn the team toward the apocalypse. That choice gives the expansion more than one angle of play.

It’s aimed at people who already want to expand their Marvel Zombies experience, not shoppers looking for a self-contained Fantastic Four game.

How to use it

The expansion centers on the Baxter Building and zombie-infested New York. Its main draw is choosing how the Fantastic Four fit into the conflict: use their powers and abilities to fight the undead in Heroic Mode, or play in Zombie Mode and embrace the other side of the disaster. That shift in perspective can make the theme feel different from a straightforward superhero-versus-zombies setup.

The listing gives a 1–6 player range, an age recommendation of 14+, and a 90-minute playtime. That makes it relevant to both solo players and groups, though a 90-minute session calls for more room in the evening than a quick filler game. If you’re planning a group session, the broad player range gives you flexibility, if you usually play alone, the listed range includes that, too.

Without having tried it, the clearest reason to consider this box is its combination of Fantastic Four characters, the Baxter Building setting, and two opposing modes. Are you more interested in defending New York or seeing the heroes become part of the zombie threat? The answer helps determine whether this particular expansion’s theme will keep your group engaged.

Pros

The two modes give the central premise a useful fork: heroic defense or zombie-side play. The Fantastic Four also bring a distinct team identity to a Marvel Zombies session, rather than adding characters with no connection to the scenario. For fans of the team, the Baxter Building setting makes the apocalypse feel tied to their corner of the Marvel universe.

It also suits groups that want a cooperative strategy game with a longer session and a flexible player count. Compared with choosing a standalone game for a new group, an expansion makes more sense when your table is already interested in the Marvel Zombies universe and wants another scenario and cast of characters to explore.

The main limitation is right there in the product’s positioning: it is an expansion, so its appeal depends on wanting to add to Marvel Zombies. The listing does not spell out the included components or setup details, so those specifics are not clear from the available information.

Spec sheet

This is a cooperative strategy game expansion for Marvel Zombies, featuring the Fantastic Four and a New York/Baxter Building setting. It offers Heroic and Zombie modes. The listed range is 1–6 players, the recommended age is 14+, and the stated playtime is 90 minutes. CMON is identified as the maker.

Is it worth it?

Worth considering if your group already enjoys Marvel Zombies, likes the Fantastic Four, and wants the option to play either side of the apocalypse. The two modes give the premise a meaningful change in direction, while the player range makes it suitable for solo sessions as well as group play.

Better avoided if you need a standalone game, prefer shorter sessions, or are mainly looking for a general Fantastic Four game rather than an expansion set in the Marvel Zombies universe. Its strongest case is for players who want to return to that universe with a new team and a choice between rescue and corruption.
