Unboxing the instructions and literature of ‘Disney Villainous: Introduction to Evil’
Upon opening the Villainous box, a welcome letter of sorts reads:
The most cunning card game of them all!
Congratulations! You’ve opened this box and unleashed the ultimate “Introduction to Evil.” Your villain arc begins. In Disney Villainous, you’ll pit iconic villains against each other in a clash of wits and strategy.
“Introduction to Evil” is specially brewed for those new to the award-winning Disney Villainous system and seasoned Disney Villainous players who’ve been sharing the game with their friends for years. Now, start playing in minutes with our video resources (linked with QR codes in the rulebook and villain guides).
Prepare to uncover each villain’s clever gameplay inspired by their unique story, immerse yourself in your favorite Disney films, and give those stories the happily evil after they deserve!
Additionally, “Disney Villainous: Introduction to Evil” comes with an eight-page instructional booklet, as well as individual, four-page guides for each of the four playable Disney villains.
If you’d prefer to watch a video explaining the rules than read the instructions, all five booklets have a QR code you can scan with your phone to access tutorials.
Unboxing the game boards of ‘Disney Villainous: Introduction to Evil’
Continuing with our unboxing, each of the four playable villains in “Villainous: Introduction to Evil” comes with their own game board.
The game also comes with a cauldron and 40 Power tokens, both involved in the gameplay.
Unboxing the cards of ‘Disney Villainous: Introduction to Evil’
There’s quite a lot to unbox as part of this “Introduction to Evil” edition of “Villainous.” Each villain has their own Villain Deck of 30 cards each and their own Fate Deck of 15 cards each. These cards display detailed illustrations of familiar villains, heroes, and film locations. Seriously, they’re works of art!
Disney Lorcana card included
In addition to producing Villainous, Ravensburger also makes the highly popular Disney Lorcana trading card game. Each “Introduction to Evil” set comes with a Lorcana card to get you started (or perhaps add to your collection). The Lorcana card in our Villainous box was Prince John; we’re not sure if that was intentional to tie in with “Introduction to Evil,” or just luck.
