FOR GENRE FANS
In Disney Villainous: The Worst Takes it All, you take control of one of six iconic Disney villains, each with their own unique goals and strategies to dominate the realm. Forget the heroes for a moment; here, evil is the star! Each player receives an individual board, an exclusive villain deck, a fate deck, and a 3D character miniature, ensuring an asymmetrical experience where each villain plays in a unique way.
During your turn, you move your miniature to one of the locations on your board, activating the actions available there. These actions often involve playing cards from your hand – which can be allies to help you, powerful items, surprising effects, or conditions you need to fulfill. The objective is simple yet challenging: be the first to fulfill your specific win condition, which is different for each villain.
But beware! One of the cruelest (and most fun) actions allows you to target your opponents. You can choose another player, draw two cards from their fate deck, and play one of them onto their board. These fate cards bring heroes, items, and effects from that villain's movie, and are used to disrupt your opponent's plans, covering important action spaces and making their lives difficult. It's a game of strategy, planning, and lots of interaction, where the competition is as savory as the Evil Queen's poisoned apple!
