Just be warned: it takes a hot minute to get your head around the rules, and it's not the easiest to explain. The game encourages you to explore your wicked side, and you can send heroes to harass your foes as a result.

However, that's not to say it's a laissez-faire experience. They also come with their own board to explore at your leisure.

You see, characters have a unique objective and play-style inspired by their movie, and that means they all handle differently to one another. How it works: Don't be fooled by that family-friendly theming - Villainous is hiding layer upon layer of strategy beneath its gorgeous artwork.
