The Mutant Revolution is here

The X-Men have been a popular license with a comic, books, cartoons, video games, and movies.  While there have been a few games with certain X-Men in them, we haven’t gotten a true board game that features the teamwork and squad combat involved with these mutant.  That’s changing though, with the release of X-Men: Mutant Revolution.

WizKids and Gale Force Nine are pleased to announce the release of the new HeroClix strategy game X-Men: Mutant Revolution, in North American retail today.

X-Men: Mutant Revolution allows you to play as classic X-Men characters — including Wolverine, Cyclops, Magneto, and Storm — as they lead their school against its rivals. In the game, 3-4 players will recruit heroes and students, training each team and sending them on missions to spread your vision for mutants to the world.
