Disney Villainous: Introduction to Evil (RAV60001998)
Disney Villainous: Introduction to Evil is an asymmetric strategy game from Ravensburger for 2–4 players, ages 10+, that plays in about 40–80 minutes.
How it plays
Every great story needs a villain, and now it's your turn. Each player controls a different Disney villain with their own goal: Ursula schemes for the Trident and Crown, Maleficent spreads Curses across her Realm, Captain Hook hunts Peter Pan, and Prince John hoards Power.
On your turn you move to a location in your realm and take its actions, often by playing cards. Other players can play Fate cards against you to throw heroes in your way.
Ravensburger designed it as an entry point to the Villainous series, and it's compatible with other Disney Villainous titles.
