Disney Villainous

Disney Villainous is a board game that celebrates Disney’s best baddies. The first release launched last summer with six classic villains like Maleficent, Ursula, Jafar, and Captain Hook.

So far in 2019, Ravensberger has released two additional expansions that add characters like the Evil Queen, Dr. Facilier, Scar, and Yzma. Best of all, each game features original artwork in the spirit of each character and even includes some rarely seen villains like Rattigan from The Great Mouse Detective and Prince John from Robin Hood.
