Ratigan To Join the Ranks of Disney's Villainous Board Game

If you haven't played Disney's Villainous boardgame, you should definitely give it a go. Very few games with a licensed theme play as well as this one.

Players choose one of four famous villains, each with their own board and goal. Ursula seeks Triton's crown and trident, while the Queen of Hearts tries for a perfect croquet shot. Jafar must find the lamp and enslave Genie, Capt. Hook needs to defeat Peter Pan, and Maleficent seeks to place a curse on all the land. Prince John just wants tax money.

While you work at your goals, other players hinder you by playing hero cards on your board. Which proves there is no honor among thieves.

I expect to receive the first Expansion Pack for my birthday, featuring Hades, the Wicked Queen, and Dr. Facilier. But the real news, for me, at any rate, is the recently-announced second Expansion Pack. Then I will finally have Professor Ratigan! Oh, and Scar and Yzma, too. But Ratigan means an entire game devoted to my favourite film, with game board, playing piece, and two decks of cards themed to The Great Mouse Detective. Oh, bliss!

I certainly hope Disney continues to add to the villainous villains of Villainous. I will welcome Lady Tremaine, Rourke, Clayton, Shere Khan, Madam Mim, Ratcliffe, McLeach, John Silver, Alameda Slim, Edgar, Sykes, Shan Yu, Frollo, Cruella, Medusa, the Horned King...but nobody can top Ratigan, the World's Greatest Criminal Mind!
