Ever wondered what it's like to be the one planning the mischief? In Disney Villainous: Perfectly Wretched, you step out of the hero's shoes and take command of one of Disney's most iconic villains. The clash features Cruella de Vil, Mother Gothel, and Pete. Each of these troublemakers comes with their own dedicated board, a unique deck of cards, and a specific win condition. It's not just about playing the best cards, but about who can execute their evil master plan first.
The gameplay loop is engaging: during your turn, you move your character miniature across your board to activate specific actions, playing ally, item, or effect cards to build your path to victory. However, you're not alone in this. The game uses the 'Fate Deck,' which allows your opponents to play heroes or obstacles onto your board, blocking your action spaces and throwing a wrench in your gears. It's the kind of game where you build your empire while simultaneously trying to dismantle your neighbor's with a smirk.
One of the best parts is that Perfectly Wretched is a standalone experience, so you don't need any previous boxes to start causing chaos. But, if you already own other Villainous sets, you can mix and match villains to create epic crossovers between characters from different movies. The game is highly asymmetrical, meaning playing as Cruella feels completely different from playing as Pete. If you enjoy card games with direct player interaction and love the Disney aesthetic, this title is perfect for testing your strategic skills (and your patience with your friends).
