About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to dive into the darker side of the Marvel universe with Marvel Villainous: We Are Venom! This solo expansion brings the iconic symbiote Venom to the Villainous lineup, allowing you to take control of this treacherous creature in its quest for victory. To win, Venom needs to achieve a merger with Spider-Man, a goal that's no easy feat when heroes like Silver Spider are ready to thwart its plans. Fortunately, Venom isn't alone; its symbiote allies are on hand to provide that extra boost!

As in other games in the Villainous series, you'll use an action points system to make strategic moves, wisely manage your hand of cards, and explore Venom's unique powers. Each game promises to be different, thanks to the asymmetrical abilities that define the Villainous experience. Remember that this is an expansion pack, so you'll need a base game of Marvel Villainous to play. Oh, and brace yourself for an extra challenge: the game requires considerable card text, so make sure all players are comfortable with the language!
