Ravensburger Star Wars Villainous Power of the Dark Side - Darth Vader - Expandable Strategy Family Board Games & Disney Villainous Worst Takes It All - Expandable Strategy Family Board Games

Product Information

A Sith assassin who served under Count Dooku and a relatively rare user of the Dark Side of the Force who actually has a pretty good reason to hate everybody (she constantly gets betrayed).

The currency can also be used to activate card abilities and in some cases win the game –once other criteria are met. Your goal is to fulfill the evil scheme your Villain was trying to accomplish in the movie or series they are from - whoever completes this first, wins! His goal would revolve around the Death Star plans, maybe requiring him to vanquish characters from that movie while managing the location of the plans (similar to how Mother Gothel must keep Rapunzel away from Corona).

Indeed, perseverance will reward you with one of the better strategy board games for adults you can get right now. Each turn, players move their Villain Mover to a location on their Board and perform actions that are available there. Your strategy has to adapt throughout the game because there will definitely be trouble along your path. Earned at the beginning of your turn or via certain cards, this is a bonus resource used to take special actions like removing multiple heroes at once or drawing new cards. Like so many of the Disney Villainous expansions, the characters here provide an experience we've not seen from the game before.

It’s the latest core game in the much-loved Villainous series that launched in 2018 with Disney Villainous and subsequently Marvel Villainous (2020) alongside a plethora of expansions.

Whether you're a fan of the Star Wars franchise or just board games in general, Star Wars Villainous is an absolute must-play. I will say that, during a 4-player game, we ran out of the ambition tokens and had to substitute with credits for a while. It’s relatively quick to learn for newbies, easy to play, but competitive enough you don’t feel like you’re wasting your time.

It can’t be accessed until a vehicle card has been played into it, at which point it gains the action icons and a special effect listed on the card. He is featured far more prominently as a villain than either Snoke or Palpatine, and his objective could see him overthrowing the other Sith lords to rise to power.

The addition of Vehicle Cards makes a lot of sense in the Star Wars universe and adds another layer of strategy to the game, without overcomplicating the tried-and-tested Villainous formula. For the first time in franchise history, every box of Star Wars Villainous will contain slightly different movers. But if you want to go deeper than that, his many cybernetic enhancements made him a seemingly unstoppable warrior—as evidenced by his collection of lightsabers, stolen from Jedi he had killed. Because of this overlap, this box may have to include a lot of duplicate cards, perhaps having a both a young and old version of Obi-Wan Kenobi depending on which fate deck he appears in.

It's one extra thing to balance in your quest for domination, and if you use these abilities properly, they can provide satisfying solutions to problems that'll make you rather smug.Vehicles brought into play with Ambition will provide villains with new and powerful moves to perform on their turns. Ravensburger project manager Jenny Webb said working with Lucasfilm was a highlight of the entire experience. Some players might bemoan the solitaire-like feeling of presiding over your Villain’s Sector and never directly engaging other opponents, but we enjoy the Fate Deck's interesting competitive spin. Each one features its inspiration's lightsaber hilt cleverly blended into the design, and the deliberately worn style with flecks of color injected into the mold does justice to Star Wars' lived-in aesthetic. Each player chooses a character and gets a dedicated board for that villain together with two decks of cards.
