Star Wars Villainous – Rule the Galaxy with Iconic Villains
It's time to restore order to the galaxy!
In Star Wars Villainous, forget the heroism of the rebels. You play as one of the five most formidable villains in the saga. Each character has their own victory objective, their own cards, and their own playing area. To win, you must not only progress toward your dark goal, but also send heroes (like Luke Skywalker or Han Solo) to slow down your opponents.
The goal of the game? Be the first to fulfill your unique victory condition before the other villains take over.
Five antagonists, five imperial destinies:
Each core box offers radically different gameplay styles:
-
Darth Vader: The Sith Lord must defeat Luke Skywalker after luring him into his meditation chamber.
-
Kylo Ren: A Force management challenge to definitively turn to the dark side.
-
Moff Gideon: Capture Grogu and conduct scientific experiments for the Empire.
-
Asajj Ventress: Complete secret missions and eliminate her targets with precision.
-
General Grievous: Collect the lightsabers of your Jedi enemies to prove your superiority.
What's new in the Star Wars edition:
This isn't just a simple "relooking" of the Disney edition; the gameplay is enriched with specific mechanics:
-
Using the Force: A special resource for certain villains that boosts actions or influences destiny.
-
The Ship System: You can now deploy TIE fighters or star cruisers in your sectors to gain action bonuses or block heroes.
-
Ambition and Credits: Two distinct currencies to manage to activate your most powerful abilities.
Why succumb to the Dark Side?
-
Perfect Asymmetry: Each villain plays differently, offering immense replayability. Learning to master each deck is a pleasure in itself.
-
Total Immersion: The stylized figures ("movers") and magnificent illustrations instantly plunge you into the atmosphere of the saga.
-
Tactical Interaction: The "Fate" system allows you to draw from your opponents' hero deck to disrupt their strategy at the worst possible moment.
-
Standalone and compatible: This box can be played on its own, but its specific rules make it the most strategic installment of the Villainous range.
