Step into villainy with Ravensburger Disney Villainous: Wicked to the Core

This light strategy game invites players to embody iconic Disney antagonists—Hades, Dr. Facilier, and the Evil Queen—each with their own distinct path to victory. The asymmetric design means every villain has a unique objective and a fresh set of challenges, creating a lively rhythm of planning, timing, and witty moves that can spark memorable game nights.

Visuals and components bring the story to life. The set includes three villain realm boards, three movers, 90 villain cards, 45 fate cards, 42 tokens, 3 reference cards, 3 villain guides, and a comprehensive instruction manual. The art and palette convey a theatrical mood, while sturdy components keep the gameplay feeling tangible and satisfying as you navigate your schemes across the board.

How you play matters. On your turn you manage actions, trigger events, and chart a course toward your objective while responding to opponents’ maneuvers. Fate decks insert familiar allies and rivals that invite interaction and strategic decision‑making. Wicked to the Core supports up to six players, making it a strong fit for family gatherings, friends, or a Disney‑loving game night. It’s a standalone title, so you can jump in without other games, yet it blends smoothly with other Villainous releases for longer sessions and expanded villain dynamics.

What makes this set appealing extends beyond the theme. For newcomers, clear instructions and villain guides help accelerate learning, while seasoned players can dive into deeper planning and storytelling.
