Boardgame and puzzle maker Ravensburger announced its next expandalone game will be titled Disney Villainous: Despicable Plots.
Ravensburger confirmed the game will contain three classic Disney villains -- Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, Lady Tremaine from Cinderella and The Horned King from The Black Cauldron. Despicable Plots created its name from an iconic line in Beauty and the Beast when Monsieur D'Arque tells Gaston that his plot to lock Belle's father Maurice away so that he can marry Belle is "despicable." Players must outwit the villainous objectives of others.
Specifically, Gaston must remove obstacles from his realm to prove to Belle that he's the perfect man whereas Lady Tremaine plots to marry one of her stepdaughters to The Prince. Meanwhile, The Horned King aims to take over the world by filling his realm with Cauldron Born after taking possession of The Black Cauldron.
Players are encouraged to use henchmen and items from their respective villain's deck in order to help them along the way. Fellow players can make their opponents' pathways to victory more difficult by playing heroes, interfering with players' evil plans.
Released in 2018, Disney Villainous: The Worst Takes It All game was praised for its play mechanics and won the Toy Association's 2019 "Toy of the Year" Award. That game featured Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty), Captain Hook (Peter Pan), Jafar (Aladdin), Ursula (The Little Mermaid), Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland) and Prince John (Robin Hood).
Its expandalone sequel, Disney Villainous: Evil Comes Prepared, added villains Scar (The Lion King), Ratigan (The Great Mouse Detective) and Yzma (The Emperor's New Groove). The sequel also ended up being a finalist for the 2020 "Toy of the Year" Award. A third expandalone called Disney: Villainous: Perfectly Retched added Cruella de Vil (101 Dalmatians), Mother Gothel (Tangled) and Pete (Steamboat Willie), and Wicked to the Core added Dr. Facilier (The Princess and the Frog), Evil Queen (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) and Hades (Hercules). The new Despicable Plots expandalone game was designed and developed by Mike Mulvihill of Ravensburger North America.
Disney Villainous: Despicable Plots is available for pre-order now on Amazon and Target. The game goes on sale at major retailers and local game stores in the U.S. on Feb. 28 for $24.99 and is suitable for two-to-three players ages 10-plus. The limited-edition version of the game is sold exclusively at Target and includes a bronze Gaston game piece.
