A Disney hero needs a great Disney villain, and we’ve been blessed with iconic characters, including Scar, Maleficent, Ursula, and the Evil Queen. In recent years, fans have seen projects dedicated to the villains, such as the Descendants films and this year’s Twisted-Wonderland – The Animation. It’s a great time to be a Disney villain!
On the board game side, Ravensburger has produced the strategy card/board game Disney Villainous, which launched in 2018. Players are tasked with becoming a Disney villain, each with special abilities and challenges, and the one who completes their objectives wins the game. The games featured characters from classic Disney animated films, including Captain Hook, Jafar, Maleficent, Ursula, Hades, Scar, Cruella de Vil, and Shere Khan. Live-action villains also received some love, including Davy Jones.
Marvel also joined, with players getting to become supervillains like Thanos, Ultron, or Loki.
There’s also a Star Wars edition with iconic bad guys like Darth Vader and General Grievous. This year, we saw the release of Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics, with the option of playing as Grand Admiral Thrawn or Count Dooku. As Thrawn, you are tasked with taking over and controlling planets for the Empire. As Count Dooku, you are tasked with convincing an organization to join him in the Separatist Movement. Cold Tactics can be used with other Star Wars Villainous games, including Power of the Dark Side, Scum and Villainy, and Revenge at Last.
Here are the available Villainous Board Games (prices shown as of January 1, 2026). A few are sold out and are available via resellers, as you can tell from the marked-up prices.
