Star Wars Villainous: Power of the Dark Side is a standalone entry in the popular Villainous series, allowing players to step into the shoes of iconic villains from the Star Wars universe. Published by Ravensburger in 2022, the game is designed for 2–4 players ages 10 and up.

In this game, you don’t play as heroes—you play as villains: Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, General Grievous, Asajj Ventress, and Moff Gideon. Each villain has a unique objective based on their story from the Star Wars franchise. For example, Vader must lure Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side and defeat him before the Emperor. The game also features famous ships like TIE Fighters and the Millennium Falcon, as well as heroes such as Luke, Leia, The Mandalorian, and Ahsoka.

Instead of traditional “power,” players collect Ambition—a resource used for special actions and achieving objectives. Each player gains 1 Ambition per turn, balancing the game’s pace. Every villain has their own deck of cards, including allies, items, and effects. Players can interfere with each other by playing heroes from opposing stories, which hinder villains’ progress. Each villain offers unique abilities and strategies, ensuring diverse gameplay.

🛸 Let your ambition guide you—and claim victory for the Dark Side.
