Just like any other Villainous game, Star Wars villains race to complete their unique objectives before any other player to win. Of special interest is the fate action which allows you to choose a target opponent, draw two cards from their fate deck, and choose one to play on them.

This experience has been a lot of fun for many players, but as Disney's media empire grows, fans want to see more and more representation within the game as well. Finally, Ravensburger have added new +1 and -1 tokens to the game to signify strengthening and weakening certain allies. Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, a military officer who fought for the Republic in the Clone Wars, who stood alongside Darth Vader in the upper echelon of the Galactic Empire, and who served as the administrator of the Death Star. Asajj Ventress has to complete three missions from her five Mission Cards, which can prove a little complicated for new players.For strategy game fans, Star Wars Villainous is a definite step up from the original Disney Villainous game. While your rivals are plotting their way to victory, you can throw a spanner in the works by dropping iconic heroes or effects onto their board to delay them. The top board games for adults are also well worth a look, not to mention the best cooperative board games . Darth Vader, with his black cape and black mask, propensity for hurting people, and reputation for being one of the worst fathers in pop culture, is one of the definitive examples of a “bad guy.

The Emperor is a bigger villain, Thrawn might have the stronger military mind, Maul has a double-lightsaber, and Kylo Ren may actually kill more good guys, but Vader is the one you remember. Each one has a unique, sculptural token with flecks of a different color injected into the mold to provide a suitably battle-worn look. Immediately spanning the Star Wars Universe means there’s something for everyone, from the die-hards (my household: home to a cat named after a no-longer-canon-unless-you-count-his-ship-showing-for-about-a-second character from a Star Wars video game – points to you, if you know) to those who only know the heavy breathing version of Anakin.Some villains have character-specific components such as Darth Vader’s Luke Skywalker Tile, and Kylo Ren’s Destiny Tracker and Destiny Tokens. He’s supposed to be representing his people as some kind of count, but instead he’s out there telling robots to try and kill Yoda.

This process means the action icons can no longer be used, although the Villain Mover can still land on its own vehicles and activate their abilities.

Villainous, the award-winning board game series published by Ravensburger, is finally getting the expansion that fans have been clamoring for. General Grievous, for example, needs to collect the lightsabers of fallen Jedi heroes, so if you draw two Jedi heroes, you’ll be forced to place one on Grievous' Sector, which plays right into his hands. Each turn, players move their Villain Mover to a location on their Board and perform actions that are available there. There are some games where you need to think about your future moves, but in Star Wars Villainous, you have to reevaluate your Sector before making a move. Of course, the dark insidious truth of Star Wars has always been that the bad guys are much, much cooler.

Wicked to the Core, Evil Comes Prepared, Perfectly Wretched, and Marvel's Villainous released March 2019, August 2019, March 2020, and July 2020 respectively. The only reason he’s not higher up this list is because making “I’m evil” your whole personality is boring.
