For this Marvel version, I wish that there was a bit more of the theme put into the win conditions. Rather than just having someone win automatically, it would be great if players were given one final chance to stop them. For instance, Thanos wins the moment he collects all infinity stones. I wish that rather than an instant win, he would have to make it to his next turn where he would then have to “snap” to win. Includes the Evil Queen ( Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), Hades ( Hercules), and Dr. Facilier ( The Princess and the Frog)

There is a lot to Marvel Villainous, so I will just break the game down into a bare bones overview so we can get to the review. Everything looks fantastic in Marvel Villainous. I don’t really have any complaints on the components aesthetic wise.

When determining a character's total Strength, you must include all Strength tokens that have been placed on that character. When a character is removed, defeated, or otherwise discarded, the Strength tokens are returned to the Vault. For other games using the Villainous gameplay engine, see the Disney Villainous wiki or the Star Wars Villainous wiki. Marvel Villainous is a strategic tabletop game where you take the role of an iconic Marvel Villain. Your goal is to fulfill the evil scheme your Villain was trying to accomplish in the movie or comic they are from - whoever does this first, wins! Final example I’ll give of this here: Thanos has to collect all of the Infinity Stones to win. To do so, you often have to first place them in another players’ domain to then send out one of his allies to collect it. This seems straight forward and when we first played Thanos we thought we understood it well enough. Then, while looking up a rule for another character, we discovered that you can only give one Infinity Stone to an ally in an opponent’s domain. (Rules explained in this fan made FAQ.) While the rulebook has details for how to attach a stone to an ally, it never once mentions that an ally can only control one Infinity Stone. Again, this seems like a very large rule to have missed including.These games are exceptionally reading heavy and the strategy is very difficult for younger players to grasp. In fact, even some older players might struggle with it. In what appears to be an attempt at brevity, many of the cards have such short descriptions of the actions they allow players to take that it leaves a large portion of the card up for interpretation. Usually that’s not a big deal *if* cards are then explained in detail in the rulebook. However, this is not the case. In fact, there are what I can only assume are complete misprints in the rulebook. Captain Hook ( I2E) • Jafar • Maleficent ( I2E)• Prince John ( I2E) • Queen of Hearts • Ursula ( I2E) Villainous Game System - In this asymmetric card game, each player takes the role of one of a Marvel Villain. Each Villain has their own powers and goals. Can only be played with other Marvel Villainous Games

The venom moving piece is particularly special. To be frank I’ve found the Marvel villainous pieces feel a little ‘cheaper’ made than their Disney counterparts. This piece however has a lot of detail and looks pretty impressive. Although it still feels lighter than Disney movers it is weightier than other Marvel movers and it just looks overall like more attention to detail has been included.First and foremost, I cannot stress enough just how confusing the rulebook is written. During our first play we kept asking ourselves why we were struggling so much to understand how these villains worked. We aren’t new to this style of card play, yet we were consistently stumped on how some cards action worked. In a game like this, there is a heavy amount of reading on the cards. Each card has to be precisely written so it’s understandable and it’s a fine art to get it just right.
