❌ You want a multiplayer game: Sadly, Jaipur can only be played with two players - there's no way to add more people into the mix. As we mentioned in our review, there's 'enough depth and spice to keep you playing for months.' The bottom line: So long as you have the patience to learn its rules, you'll find a smart and engrossing 2-player board game that can keep you busy for a long time. (Especially if you add the Disney Villainous expansions.)

It'll take you a match or two to understand how they work, and different match-ups provide all-new challenges. There aren't as many variables to consider, so you can really hone in on your villain's skills.īecause each of these baddies is so distinctive mechanically speaking, this is the sort of game that benefits from repeat play as well. Seeing as genuine skill is rewarded here, battling head-to-head feels more tactical. That's no bad thing, of course, but it's a little less focused. The quickest path to victory is throwing a wrench into another player's schemes, and more people means more carnage. That title isn't just a name it's a mindset you'll need to embrace. And make no mistake, 'chaos' is the right word. Gameplay: While Villainous shines when played in a group, tackling it as a pair gives you space to learn the characters' ins and outs rather than being swept up by the chaos of a larger melee. Just be warned: it takes a hot minute to get your head around the rules, and it's not the easiest to explain. The game encourages you to explore your wicked side, and you can send heroes to harass your foes as a result. However, that's not to say it's a laissez-faire experience. They also come with their own board to explore at your leisure. You see, characters have a unique objective and play-style inspired by their movie, and that means they all handle differently to one another. How it works: Don't be fooled by that family-friendly theming - Villainous is hiding layer upon layer of strategy beneath its gorgeous artwork.
