Cruella de Vil, Pete, and Mother Gothel Are Perfectly Wretched in Disney Villainous
Board Game: Disney Villainous: Perfectly Wretched
Is it time to be bad again already? Ravensburger has announced the next standalone game in the Disney Villainous line — Perfectly Wretched, a Prospero Hall design that will feature Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians, Mother Gothel from Tangled, and Pete from Steamboat Willie.

Let me interject here to note that Donna Murphy is fantastically good as Mother Gothel, both in the songs and in overall voice performance. I've watched Tangled at least a half-dozen times and would be fine watching it again now if I didn't have work to do. You probably didn't need to know this, but I don't have much to say about this title beyond its impending existence, which will become a reality on March 1, 2020.

The game will be available at multiple retail outlets, with Target selling "a limited, Target-exclusive edition of the game that features a removable Dalmatian-spotted sleeve as well as a spotted Cruella" figure.

As for how Villainous plays, here's an overview:
Quote:
On a turn, the active player moves their character to a different location on their player board, takes one or more of the actions visible on that space (often by playing cards from their hand), then refills their hand to four cards. Cards are allies, items, effects, and conditions. You need to use your cards to fulfill your unique win condition.

One of the actions allows you to choose another player, draw two cards from that player's fate deck, then play one of them on that player's board, covering two of the four action spaces on one of that player's locations. The fate deck contains heroes, items, and effects from that villain's movie, and these cards allow other players to mess with that particular villain.

Disney Villainous: Perfectly Wretched is playable on its own, and its characters can also face off against those in the Disney Villainous base game from 2018 and the Disney Villainous: Wicked to the Core and Disney Villainous: Evil Comes Prepared standalone games in 2019.
