The fun approach to being a villain in Disney Villainous
The game is simple and very fun as you take control of one of the bad guys
classics of Disney. The villains have missions and objectives to complete,
which are very well defined on each player’s personal board. It’s a
action and card game, which makes it dynamic and suitable for gaming
family. But not everything will be child’s play, since you have to play with cards
destiny, which the classic Disney heroes have among them, with effects that
They will pose a challenge to the progress of your villain’s goal.
We will not break the rules of the game, as they are explained very well
the Rules of the Game that accompany the starting box. What we will explain
it’s the characters that come in the starter box, in the expansions and what have you
They sound like Disney traditions. The way we can change the happy ending
We know, that’s what makes this game interesting. Jafar or Hook can still do it
I earn.
Each villain or evil also has a deck with different elements at their disposal
like a table with your kingdom, which uses some more
emblematic of cinema. Each location has actions to perform that are activated and cause the cards in the deck to move. But opposite
we will have the destination deck, i.e. the actions that we will try to prevent
bad guys achieve their (or our) malicious goals.
The heroes’ actions and fate cards are then activated by the other players
which is ultimately a race for the bad guys to win. And that’s what
It makes it fun, as you play both sides. On the one hand you have to be able to advance
your mission and at the same time block the actions of other players. All
The characters are represented very well and also no license was taken
with their tradition, making them very recognisable. Also, the letters
The actions are also very representative and evoke events from the films.
Tutorial to learn how to play: VIDEO TUTORIALS
The level of villains is similar, but there are some with more mechanics
complex, so it is interesting to play randomly, without choosing. Of this
In this way, we will play different games with a very varied gaming experience in each
one of them. We are therefore faced with a long-lived game, one that can be repeated
without having the feeling of always doing the same thing. It’s a family game,
but it has somewhat complex mechanics for the little ones, therefore bad
like Prince John, they are easier to carry and perfect for little ones
of the house.
Disney Villainous increasingly complete with expansions
The first game (and what could be considered the base game) of Disney Villanous is The
The worst takes all / Introduction to evil, which brings into play 6 villains, be these
Captain Hook, Jafar, Maleficent, Prince John, the Queen of Hearts and Ursula. AND
say, the villains of Peter Pan, Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, Robin Hood, Alice in Wonderland
Wonderland and The Little Mermaid. All of them represented faithfully and
with its corresponding totem or pawn.
These villains must face “their destiny,” which comes into play in the game
in the form of a deck of cards that you have to fight against, filled with classic heroes and
legendary cinematic moments. In released expansions
(we’re missing a bundle with everything that’s been released so far), they did
incorporated villains such as Scar (The Lion King), Hades (Hercules), Cruella de Vil (101
Dalmatian), Gastón (Beauty and the Beast) or Madama Mim (Merlin the Enchanting), among
others and others.
We weren’t able to test all the expansions, but we were able to test Perfectly Wretched and
Despicable plots, which The Stepmother or Pete gave a lot of play to
matches.
These are the expansions available so far and the villains
bring:
- The Worst Takes All/Introduction to Evil – Captain Hook, Jafar, Maleficent, Prince John, the Queen of Hearts and Ursula
- Evil to the Core – Dr. Facilier, Evil Queen and Hades
- Evil Comes Prepared – Ratigan, Scar and Yzma
- Perfectly Miserable – Cruella De Vil, Mother Gothel and Pete
- Despicable Plots – Gaston, Horned King, and Lady Tremaine
- Bigger and Badder – Lotso, Madam Mim Syndrome
- Full of Fear – Oogie Boogie and Shere Khan
- Sugar and spite – King Candy
In conclusion, it is a fun game, a little complex for the little ones but which can be adapted. It is more advisable to play it only between adults. Its mechanics make it a game with limited interactions between players, and the matches do not become heavy, as the variety of situations that occur during them make it very dynamic. The fact that you become a Disney villain and turn the tables is an incentive, especially if you play it by stepping into the role. It’s a game that came out a few years ago, so it has matured naturally and can be found easily, as can its expansions. This makes it accessible and at a lower price than other games in the genre. Fun and with Disney magic.
