About the game
Ever thought about stopping the world-saving act and starting the world-dominating one? In Marvel Villainous: Infinite Power, you step out of the hero's shoes to embody one of Marvel's most iconic villains. Whether you choose Thanos, Hela, Ultron, Killmonger, or Taskmaster, each character follows their own unique path to victory with specific objectives. It's not just about who hits the hardest, but who can execute their sinister plan first while sabotaging everyone else.

The gameplay revolves around individual player boards where you move your villain across different locations within your domain. Each location provides distinct actions that help you progress toward your goal. But beware: fate is a cruel mistress! There is a shared 'Fate' deck, and you can play fate cards to mess with your opponents, forcing them to deal with unexpected events that drain their resources and stall their progress.

To spice things up, specialty cards enhance your villain's abilities, making them increasingly formidable as the game progresses. The game is highly versatile: if you're playing with a group that's new to board gaming, you can use the beginner mode. For seasoned players who enjoy a challenge, the advanced mode increases the number of events and the overall difficulty. It's the perfect blend of hand management and direct interaction, where malice is your primary tool for victory. Get ready to betray, block, and finally conquer the Marvel universe!
