Gameplay: Once you've gotten your head around your villain's special rules, you'll be cooking with gas. Seeing as these do-gooders block certain actions or introduce obstacles until they're removed, it adds a whole new dimension to proceedings. (As our review points out, 'there's so much to get your teeth into.') What's more, you can delay your rivals by sending heroes to harass them. You'll navigate a personal board in search of allies, effects, or items that can help you complete your unique objective, and because each character has their own play-style, the experience is surprisingly deep. There's complexity hidden beneath all those gorgeous paintings, though. What follows is a nostalgic romp through classic Disney films, reimagined here with original artwork. Think of it like a 'what if' scenario, where the antagonists finally get their way. How it works: As the name would suggest, Villainous revolves around classic baddies getting their way - Jafar wants to control Genie, Prince John is trying to amass a fortune, and so on. It's a great choice in terms of must-have board games for 2 players. While duking it out with lots of other people is fun, reducing the head-count makes things less chaotic and gives you more time to strategize. If you ask us, that intricacy makes Villainous better when played head-to-head.
