The first of these add-ons will be ‘Disney Villainous: Sugar and Spite,’ a pack adding King Candy from Wreck It Ralph and Shere Khan of the Jungle Book fame. There’s no word on how they’ll play yet, but apparently Target will get a special “candy bar-themed packaging sleeve and exclusive finish on King Candy’s mover.”
Similarly, we don’t know what the Star Wars Villainous expandalone box will include either. Before now, we’ve had a set of Force users in the main pack andbounty hunters like Boba Fett in the follow-up.
One thing we can say for certain is the addition of a new starter set, though. Following its release as a Disney100 tie-in, the ‘Introduction to Evil’ box is coming back this August at mass retail. Containing added video tutorials, “streamlined gameplay designed to be welcoming for beginners,” and four of the series' original villains (Maleficent, Ursula, Captain Hook, and Prince John), this is supposed to be an easier route into the game. More specifically, Ravensburger says that “the changes incorporate fan feedback and the Ravensburger team’s learnings from developing the game for over five years.” Seeing as we’ve always said that Disney Villainous can be hard to get into despite being one of thebest board games, this update feels wise.
