Welcome back to another episode of The Gateway Gamers! Today, Bryan and RP break out Thanos Rising - Avengers: Infinity War from The OP (USAOpoly). This is a game that both of them have played before! However, it just seemed like a perfect time to revisit with the release of Marvel Studios' ETERNALS releasing today.
They also discuss the various "reskins" of the game, like Death Eaters Rising - to coincide with RP's appearance on Harry Potter & the Half-Drunk Podcast (@HPHalfDrunk on social & available wherever you listen to podcasts!) to discuss the similarities of the MCU and Harry Potter so it seemed like a perfect game to discuss!
Also on this episode - Kick or KickStart It & Listener Questions!

Join Bryan and RP on what was intended to be their first mini-episode, and it ended up being their longest!

Then, they get into the Disney Villainous Expansion: Wicked to the Core - which features the Evil Queen, Dr. Facilier, and Hades. This is the first expansion for Villainous that was released back in 2019.
