Review of Marvel Villainous: Infinite Power, a game that deserves its name


Marvel evil is the Marvel Universe version of Disney Villainousand offers us the chance to be one of Marvel’s villains, among several options, and to change history. A fun game that follows the same rules as Disney Villainous. But the best thing is to be able to be Thanos. There are more bad guys, but after several games the pleasure of shooting is the most satisfying. Ravensburger continues to hit the mark when it comes to creating mechanics where you feel part of the story.

We were able to play several games and try out the villains, and it is an addictive game that mixes the Marvel Cinematic Universe very well with the gameplay dynamics of Villains. Much more strategic than Disney’s and even more engaging.

Marvel Villainous: Infinite Power offers us quality and cards full of the tradition of the Marvel universe

Marvel evil offers us the chance to become one of the available villains of Marvel: Thanos, Hela, Ultron, Taskmaster or Killmonger. for the base game, as the expansions add new villains. Created by Prospero Hall and distributed by Ravensburger, the game is fast, less than 2 hours and for up to 4 people. But as I was saying, with the expansions these options increase. It’s a card game with actions and with a board for each villain, as well as their corresponding figure.

  • Number of players: 2 to 4 people.
  • Recommended minimum age for the game: 12 years.
  • Playing time: From 40 to 80 minutes.

These are the components that you will find in the base game, playable on its own, but we recommend purchasing one of the expansions to give the game more life. Especially Loki’s:

  • 5 evil characters.
  • 5 decks of cards, one for each villain.
  • A bunch of shared destinies.
  • 5 guides on villains.
  • 5 Villain Domains.
  • Mark of the soul.
  • Power tokens.
  • 1 power cabin.

The idea of ​​the game is to become the most powerful villain in the entire galaxy, accumulating powers as you play. The game mode is very different from that of Disney Villainsince this is about being more powerful than the other villains. Three different game modes have been added, meaning the difficulty can be increased in each game, making it a replayable and long-lasting game. As it couldn’t be otherwise, the heroes are also present, and it will be precisely in this way that the other villains will try to defeat us.

That is, the game is about using skills, items, and heroes to defeat other villains. It’s a much more adult game than the version Disneywhere strategy and patience take on more importance. There is randomness in the cards you can get when you draw from your villain’s deck, but victory comes with a lot of strategy. At the simplest level, it’s already a challenge, but as you play, you learn from it easily.

If you’ve seen the Marvel MCU films, you have a bit of an edge in Marvel Villainous

The game is based more on the MCU films than the comics, so we get to see some of the events from the films reflected in the board game. Having seen the films helps you have perspective on your villain’s goal and the cards are very relatable. It is a game for movie lovers, as it looks like an encyclopedia of the events that happened and makes you want to watch them again.

Marvel Villainous is the Marvel universe version of Disney Villainous and offers us the chance to be one of Marvel's villains, among several options, and to change history.

As we mentioned at the beginning, Thanos It’s very powerful, as it couldn’t be otherwise, being the main arc of The Infinity Saga. Gems are present and collecting them is the main objective. But the other villains are no different, so the game is very balanced in terms of components. Ultron and Hera They also have good presence and Killmonguer He is a powerful opponent. Perhaps Taskmaster It is the least known and the least powerful, but given how it was brought to the big screen it is not surprising.

In short, we are faced with a fun and dynamic game, with a lot of life and increased with the expansions, the most recent with Venom as the protagonist. A game recommended for every Marvel fan and that deserves more than one game, even with every villain.
