About the game

What is Star Wars Villainous: Revenge at Last?

In Star Wars Villainous: Revenge at Last, players choose to play one of two iconic villains from the Star Wars galaxy: Darth Maul or Captain Phasma. For players who select Captain Phasma, they have to channel the military leader's "Ambition", keeping her best soldiers in play after a "Vanish" action to establish a First Order Stormtrooper Officer at each location. As the ruthless commander, players can even sacrifice allies to promote others with the effect "Forged in Battle". Players taking on the role of Darth Maul within the game will need to take revenge on the Jedi by recruiting a hero as their apprentice, building up their strength, and manipulating them to beat another hero at the top of the sector. Darth Maul will use his allies not to vanquish heroes, but to weaken them. When players take a "Vanquish" action, they do not discard the hero, but instead give them a -1 strength token. This standalone game also incorporates villain-specific missions and rules for iconic ships and transports from all corners of the Star Wars galaxy. Villains in Star Wars Villainous: Revenge at Last can also be mixed with those in Star Wars Villainous: Power of the Dark Side or Star Wars Villainous: Scum and Villainy.
