Comet: Superhero Add-On is an expansion for Comet released in 2023 for 2–4 players, 45–75 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Peter Prinz and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Set Collection.
Includes 5 new Comet heroes with very strong abilities to explore unique strategies and synergy combinations. New play patterns will emerge while saving animals from the threatening comet. Shuffle the superheroes with the base game heroes and start the game as usual - or deal one random superhero to each player at the beginning of the game. Also includes 20 hero card sleeves to protect all your hero cards (including the base game heroes) from wear, tear and comet damage. Use the savior board extension and savior token with the Giant Hare.
Comet: Superhero Add-On supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Comet: Superhero Add-On is 45–75 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Comet: Superhero Add-On for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Comet: Superhero Add-On belongs to these categories: Animals, Racing, and Prehistoric. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Set Collection.

The catalogue lists Comet: Superhero Add-On as an expansion for Comet. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Comet to use it. Check that your edition of Comet is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
