Ever wondered what it's like to be the one causing all the chaos? In Disney Villainous: Introduction to Evil, you step out of the hero's shoes and take control of sinister minds like Maleficent, Ursula, Captain Hook, or Prince John. This version is specifically designed for those new to the Villainous universe, offering streamlined gameplay and a smaller cast to ease the learning curve while keeping the essence of villainy intact.
The game is completely asymmetric, meaning every villain plays by their own rules. You'll have your own personal board, a unique villain deck, and a 3D miniature to track your progress. The goal is straightforward: fulfill your specific victory condition before anyone else. You'll move your character across the board and execute actions, playing ally, item, and effect cards to manipulate the game state in your favor.
But don't expect a walk in the park! The game features a strong 'Take That' element. Using the Fate deck, you can play cards onto your opponents' boards to block their actions and derail their evil plans. It's a battle of egos where hand management is the key to victory. If you enjoy strategic planning, sabotaging your friends, and love the Disney aesthetic, this is the perfect entry point. Plus, the Disney100 anniversary edition features a luxurious look with platinum finishes that make any collection look more imposing.
