Ravensburger Disney Villainous: Wicked to The Core Strategy Board Game

I'm not good at explaining game dynamics or how to play, but for those of you already familiar with the original game (the largest set with Maleficent, Captain Hook, Prince John, Ursula, Queen of Hearts, and Jafar) this is definitely a fun and worthy addition!! (And yes, you can play with this pack alone--- it's just really fun to have more characters!) Hades is either my favorite or second favorite character in the whole series. I love this game because it's really well done (very thought out, detail-rich, true to characters), and because you're not just playing to beat other players. You're focusing on your own unique objective, and I very much enjoy that aspect. It is a strategy game for sure, so it can take a few tries to remember everything for a character while also making the most advantageous moves. I've only played against Dr. Facilier, but I got annoyed because I feel like he's hard to really "harm" in the game until he gets to the step just before he wins. His Fate cards are wimpy in my opinion. My husband loves playing him cause he kept winning! lol I did give it 4 out of 5 stars for "Value for money" only because the larger, original game is the same price if not cheaper! Still worth it, I just find that strange--- even the other expansion is almost $10 cheaper on here.

Love this game- my brother and I had a lot of fun playing with the expansion. I really love the Evil Queen as well as Dr. Facilier. All artwork, pieces, etc are quality!

Excelentes villanos, sencillos de entender, las figuras y el arte de las cartas muy bonitas. Lo que más me agrada es que puedes jugar con esta espancion o con las otras.

Gioco bellissimo... Un po' caro su Amazon... Altri siti offrono dei pezzi più bassi ma indubbiamente è un buon gioco e merita molto. Consigliato per gli appassionati di Disney e dei giochi da tavola

This game series is a family favorite! We bought the original & first expansion played one game & fell in love with it. Then immediately ordered then next 2 expansion (one of which is this one). We also just preordered the 4th & newest edition coming out at the end of the month. Anyway tonight we played these characters & as expected they were a lot of fun. It's always cool to learn how each character is different & what it takes to win as them. The game can be gloriously fun & frustrating as you get competitive trying to screw up the other players while they attemptex to do the same to you. Learning the game: Complicated at the beginning because there is alot of information coming at you. Every character is different which means different strategies to win, some are more simple than others. Every game veries even if you play the same characters depending on how your cards play. & while your focusing on trying to win you also have to pay attention to everyone else & how they win so you can stop them from winning. Like i said there's alot. My 8 year old loves this game though the characters she's played are simpler ones & my other two want to but they aren't well enough readers. 100% giftable as long as the receiver can read & strategized some. Uhm thichness I'm guessing refers to the character boards & tokens. Both of which are thick, sturdy cardboard similar to Catan if you've played that & the cards are like those from a normal card deck. It's very nice & everything is already punched out so bonus. So in my opinion, hands down, no contest or debat, buy this game & all the others if you can!
