Asmodee will release the DC Super Heroes United Core Box into retail on Friday, November 13, 2026, for $49.99. The Asmodee US store lists the CMON core box, SKU DCU002, as a pre-order releasing November 13, for 1 to 5 players ages 14 and up with a 45 minute play time.
That puts a new cooperative superhero board game on shelves tomorrow, and it belongs on our tabletop and TCG releases this month tracker alongside the Friday wave of card game releases. The game first crowdfunded on Gamefound in 2024, and the core box is the part of that campaign confirmed for regular retail.

What kind of game is DC Super Heroes United?
It is a cooperative game where players take the role of iconic DC Super Heroes working together to stop a villain’s master plan. The villain is controlled either by the game or by another player, so groups can also play it with a player controlled supervillain.
CMON describes it as a standalone cooperative and competitive miniatures card game with simple rules, deep strategy, easy setup and quick playtime. Heroes choose cards from their decks carefully, because each card offers actions and abilities and also combines with the actions of other heroes. ICv2 reports that the game runs on the Marvel United game engine, which means Marvel United players already know the basic shape of a turn.
What is in the core box?
The box holds hero and villain figures, 8 locations, a mission guide and a rulebook, plus the card decks that drive each hero and villain. The Asmodee store listing gives the card and token counts below.
| Hero Cards | 72 |
| Master Plan Cards | 48 |
| Threat Cards | 22 |
| Equipment Cards | 19 |
| Battle Plan Cards | 12 |
| Super Villain Cards | 12 |
| Super Hero Cards | 12 |
| Mission Cards | 4 |
| Challenge Cards | 2 |
| Tokens | 155 |
How much does it cost, and is this the only retail box?
It costs $49.99, standard core box pricing for a miniatures card game of this size, and that price buys the full standalone game with no expansion required. It is not the only retail entry point planned for the line.
CMON’s Gamefound updates have also revealed a separate retail exclusive core box, Batman: Hush, with a slightly lower MSRP and fewer miniatures, pitched as a lighter entry point. That Hush box is not part of the 2024 crowdfunding campaign and is not included in any pledge.
