"Don't take that bit any further. Please god, don't take that bit- just park that bit in the ocean" Tal, ancient mysterious pyramid saying what we're all thinking
I think Taliesin or Matt would enjoy playing Doctor Facilier from Wicked to the core a lot. He's a little complicated but super interesting to set up a win
Sam is partially correct about someone else singing for Scar: Jeremy Irons hurt his voice doing the "You won't get a sniff without me" line in Be Prepared so Jim Cummings took over. At least, that's what I've read in comments on videos of the song.
It may have been earlier in the song, I'm not sure. I'm going by what I read in the comments and most people said it was that line, probably because of how it's shouted in a growly sort of way. Can't be good for the vocal cords. Edit: I may have misinterpreted your comment. I apologize if I did.
Jim Cummings has claimed that he actually sang the whole song and that Jeremy Irons didn't sing any/none of his recordings made it in. No idea if it's true but it's interesting.
@@ZotharReborn I don't think that's true. You can hear the difference in voices when the change happens. It is Jeremy Irons first, then Jim Cummings after.
23:52 - Sam asking Ashley if she's practicing for her one-shot totally reminded me that we are getting a one-shot by Ashley thanks to the kick-starter! I'm so curious what it's going to be. Imagine if it was Last of Us themed!
wasn't there a talks question or something where she said if she ever dmed it would be in a cyberpunk setting ? Also fits with the mini Tal made in their sponsored character design/3d print stream...
*Spoilers* I love how Sam just declared victory when he put the titan on Olympus, but it specifies you need to START your turn with 3 titans on Olympus, so Tal and Ashley had a chance to stop him before he was victorious.
I'm glad you noticed that to I just think they wanted the game to end so didn't say anything There was a lot going wrong with them all especially Ashley moving her curses
Yes, my hubby played Hades the other night and had the same "winning move" and at the start of watching this video I realized his win wasn't official 😂 much like this game I think we were all ready to just be done 😜
Yes Sam, Sarabi is indeed Simba's mom and Mufasa's wife. She has the distinction of being one of the few living protagonist-moms in the Disney canon. And Whoopi Goldberg's hyena is Shenzi.
Yea, I was wondering if they were going to address or were aware of the fact that James Woods played in a movie where he's a pedophile X-D Or someone else in the movie is - don't remember the details
@@misscutenar2333 Taliesin was always kinda trying to figure out what his accent was, but you can hear him coming into the Irish in Molly's last few episodes.
Lol or when Taliesin played a Hero with 3 power to wipe out a curse that said heroes must be power 4 or higher to be played there lol The mistakes are so small, but it hurts XD
@@jsuperhalo1 except he didn't. I was watching for that. All good hyenas had 2, but he also had a stampede at each vanquish that was 3 because it's not a hyena
Or saying he won, when his win condition states he has to start a turn with 3 titans on Mount Olympus, so just having them there is not enough. He would probably still win next turn though because he had the fate chip, and nothing could have stopped him.
19:23 *Ashley has three curses on the 4 she needs to win* Ashley : "Yeah guys, I'm set up for success here" Me: uhmmm I want to believe that but the video is 1:42:30 so something is about to go extremely wrong.
@@bigdream_dreambig Actually it's still disrespectful in formal situations even in places like California, but no one's going to take it off in normal buildings. Legislature rooms for example expect hats off. A couple years ago I was required, and happily willing, to take my hat off... uh... but these days they just hope for no mobs
I just looked up how the other villains work and a lot of them have really interesting mechanics. My two favourites right now are Ratigan, who has one shot at completing his main objective and goes feral and switches to "Defeat Basil" if it fails, and Yzma, who has to defeat Cuzco with Kronk... the catch is that Kronk is prone to switching sides. The videogame fan in me can seriously imagine a Master Xehanort expansion. His goal is convoluted enough to be an objective in a game like this. It would be something like: "Have 13 Strength worth of Allies and 13 Strength worth of Heroes at the Keyblade Graveyard, then play Kingdom Hearts." Alternatively, he works like Ratigan in that if something goes wrong with his main goal, he splits into Ansem and Xemnas, who each have their own goals. (Ansem would be "have all locations fall to darkness", Xemnas would be "control 13 vessels")
My favorite part about this game is how quick it can get you into character. I was playing Izma, and when the other players drew from my fate deck they kept playing Pacha's children to my board which have this really annoying effect that makes it impossible to vanquish other heroes until they're gone, and BOY WAS I FRUSTERATED. THESE ANNOYING CHILDREN. THEY KEEP GETTING IN MY WAY! Oh shit ... I really know how Izma feels now 😂
@@skittykay I got the same way when I was playing Ratigan. I did everything with the bravado of a man who knows that he's the smartest person in the room, and when I failed my first objective I went absolutely batshit. On a related note, Ratigan is ridiculously fun.
Hi! We're the invention and design studio for Disney Villainous. (We're on the back of the box). Thank you for playing our game! Great video. #TeamMaleficent There's a new expansion announced today that brings three new villains: Cruella de Vil, Mother Gothel, and Pete!
Disney, Imma tell you something: yesterday I couldn't care less for this game... Now I'm going to buy it so I can play with my family at Christmas. You should thanks these people with some more cash!
That'd be cool. Even better if they don't do goofy sound FX and Reality Show interviews scattered through the gameplay. Breaks the flow of the game to break for random opinions. >.
^This. This one video was higher quality than many of the playthroughs of games you see out there. I wish they would do more Tabletop games on the channel.
Yeah that bothered me. There was still another round to be had before he could officially say he won. I don't know how much the other 2 could've done to stop him but maybe the cards were good enough. We'll never know though since they didn't stop to check his character guide or get clarification on the win, they just kind of gave up.
I'd definitely watch another one of these with the rest of the crew, splitting up the couples, so maybe Brian, Marisha, Travis and then another one with Laura, Matt and Liam?
getting the cr cast to play your game is such effective marketing because ive seen this game in stores a million times and thought it sounded boring but this looks like so much fun lol and am now going to buy it
We just got Villainous for Christmas and were so excited to discover we could watch these guys play it too! Will DEFINITELY be getting the expansions after watching!!
Game the Game with Becca Scott did this game, with Matt & Marisha, Mica Burton, and B. Dave Walters. That video made it easier to see how the game worked, with some larger clearer graphics of the cards and boards, and some discussion of the mechanics. (And making fewer rules mistakes than this, where it might be hard to figure out the rules because they're not always following them.)
My favorite episode to date. God, these guys are such fun folks, and they played with such a combination of positivity and strategic cunning. Brilliant!
@@justintime41776 Also, you don't have to worry what everyone else is doing. You just need to focus on your own little rule set, and if someone else seems excited you throw a bomb at them.
I promise you this game is so much fun and very easy to figure out the general concepts. It’s a lot of fun to figure out each character and strategize and make different combinations. My husband and I spent hours and hours playing this game for months and we’re still not bored.
Didn’t Sam need to *start* his turn with 3 titans in mount olympus? There would have been a whole extra round for shenanigans that may have drastically impacted the outcome
@J. Gess But why would anyone let Sam win? If they just wanted to "be done with it", Tal and Ash could at least decided to 2 vs 1 against Sam, no? One of them mess with Sam exclusively while the other focus on winning for exemple! I know that's what I would do if I were Tal or Ash! ^_^ lol
His ice titan also should have been trapped when it moved onto Zeus, as Zeus hadn't been vanquished yet. And Taliesin technically shouldn't have been able to kill Mufasa, since Simba was out nerfing his hyenas. But, as the chatbot command says, pobody's nerfect! They all had a really fun time playing the game, which is way more important than getting everything 100% rules lawyered correct, hahaha.
I dont own the game but I'd call shenanigans if the Olympus card has move ALLY or item which he abused the last 5 turns . Unless he thinks the titans are items?
@@MewsSister But I think at one point he read the rules which said that you can actually use that action to move titans. Let me check real quick. Yes, he can. 1:03:35 "You may move a Titan using the move action" How else could he have moved them when moving the Titans is an essential part of Hades' strategy ?
I’m an intermediate/casual board gamer with all these expansions. For those interested, this is a really neat game, and it is one of the most beautiful in terms of art and components. The way each villain plays differently is well implemented, and particularly with the expansion villains, ingeniously designed in terms of theme. It is easy to learn but surprisingly deep the more you learn about it. Every villain has their own pace and plan, and understanding what your opponent needs to do is key to thwarting their efforts. Stopping Prince John is completely different from stopping Maleficent or Dr Facilier. However keep in mind it has a very aggressive, “take that” kind of play cadence, which may not sit well with kids or certain adult players. Also balance between the villains is questionable. Many a carefully planned endgame will be foiled by the other players teaming up on you, and while this is thematic, some villains recover far better than others. Hades, Scar and poor poor Úrsula are significantly harder to play than Queen Of Hearts, Dr Facilier or Ratigan. Also a new expansion is due in March with Cruella, Steamboat Pete and Mother Gothel!
I love villainous. Bought on a whim last year for my family for xmas, and we've been addicted ever since, owning each xpac including the Marvel one which adds new mechanics, gameplay, and meta. 10/10 would recommend
I would love to see a fan created one shot. Do a poll/survey to determine everything from location to mission (etc). Have those people who answer attach there current character sheet for the players to do; random draw for the selection process. I'd love to see Matt do Japer Beau's voice. The winners could get the mini's used in battle.
My picks for next expansion: 1.Cruella De Vil(Color:White), needs to amass 101 'puppy points' on the board and her cards are all about defending and regaining them once they've been lost or discarded, get a total of a certain numbers of puppy points at her manor, something like that. 2. Clayton(Color: Yellow), his goal is to kill Tarzan and then have all the gorilla cards in his hand(Or if they are fate, to have them all on the board after Tarzan has been killed, or some variation of that. Similar to Scar but he doesn't need to KILL them, just have them and use his tools to overcome the fates the other players throw at him to keep them). His cards are all about drawing as much as possible and killing heroes, amassing all the tools he needs to round up the gorillas(Traps and guns, etc) 3. The Horned King (Color: Dark Red), Throwing this guy in for shits and giggles since the original game has Prince John of all characters to put in the game. His goal is to draw the cards to summon Taran and allies as his fate cards and once they are all summoned, The Horned King may move to the Black Cauldron. He must keep it on the board for a certain number of turns(say 3,)/start the turn with his character at the cauldron unimpeded by any interlopers(aka fate cards), using his cauldron-born to defend it. The Horned King is sent all the way back to the start of the board if Gurgi is played from the fate deck and used at the Cauldron and buffed to be stronger than the cauldron-born the king is using to defend the cauldron, destroying The Horned King. Being a lich, this does not permanently kill him and he can use 5 tokens to reform himself at the opposite side of his board, and if he makes it back to the cauldron(He no longer needs to summon the protagonists) he just needs to get there and place an Ally on it along with himself, and he wins. Wouldn't be an easy character to play but it sounds fun to me. What do yall think?
I would spend so much money for Sam Riegel to voice over the live-action Lion King and narrate it like David Attenborough with occasional improv lines of what he thinks the characters would say.
at around 26:17 Ashley plays dragon form but doesn't pay the cost for it until later, but she was supposed to take 3 power at the beginning of her turn, so she basically could have played another card, but didn't because she forgot to take power
1:04:00 Titans are a unique card type exclusiv to Hades, they are not allies. They are just like curses of Maleficent. Which means they cant be removed or influenced by any card that targets allies. It should be better specified in the rule book tho, but good you looked into it!
I don't know which crew member is in charge of picking the background music, but they did an excellent job. Y'all can put Holst anywhere you want, and I'll enjoy it.
The Maverick? Shoot, I'm 1 of 8 people who got the reference. I also wish they would have played the whole next round like they should have (Hades needs to START his turn before winning) to see if they can counter it.
Start his turn with 3 titans on olympus is the rule? Regardless, it was a fitting win as hades first moved there to be able to lead the charge for his titans. i liked it.
@@dontwanadisplaynameonutube2951 yeah most of the villains conditions to win is to start their turn with whatever goal. It gives the rest of the players a chance to fate them and try to stop them from winning. Hades is also incredibly hard if people are knowledgeable on how it all works. There were a few rules and conditions here that were missed. But overall it was a great game.
For people learning the game at 13:25 The card Whisper says "Choose a card from your FATE discard pile" not your deck discard pile .So he couldn't grab and replay Long Live The King on that turn. Also the location he is at regardless only allows 2 actions. Both of the previous cards were actions so the second Long Live the King could not have been played even if Whisper allowed it. Meaning Tal shouldn't have been able to get Mufasa from the Fate deck that turn. It's their first time so its whatever but make sure to read the cards carefully to avoid accidents like this. I've been playing this game with friends and family since last week and it's awesome definitely recommend giving it a try!
dang I was really hoping one of them would play as Ratigan, he's got a really cool 'double objective' mechanic and I was super curious to see it in action... now hoping for another video of this game with a different rotation of players and characters!
'Evil comes peppered' Yey. Sure. Makes sense. I really do like this game. It's fun! Ok, I know what's better than doing great roleplay while playing this: Doing absolutely terrible roleplaying while playing this game! I also love that they absolutely do not know what they are doing half the time because no one played this game yet. So much better like that, watching them learn right there. Also, spontaneously bursting out into any kind of disney song that's in their head. Amazing. Also, in summary: Taliesin is the best villain because he tricks the others to play into his actions. Ashley is just generally confused it seems^^
In fact the 3rd expansion for Villainous , which it' s called " Perfectly Wretched" is coming with Cruella de Vil, Gothel and Pete( Mickey Mouse's Villainous)
My favorite part of this is everyone badly imitating their villains.
Sam: Pirate Hades
Ashley: Irish Maleficent
Taliesin: Drunk Scar
Ashley Johnson: "I build fireplaces from scratch."
Matt and Marisha: "How hard could using a fireplace be?"
Ashley and Tal, two of the most magnificently metal people
Sam. One of the most magnificent and most non-metal people
This couldnt be any more perfect

I'd definitely watch another one of these with the rest of the crew, splitting up the couples, so maybe Brian, Marisha, Travis and then another one with Laura, Matt and Liam?
getting the cr cast to play your game is such effective marketing because ive seen this game in stores a million times and thought it sounded boring but this looks like so much fun lol and am now going to buy it
Ashley's back, for real, that's so nice beyond words
would love to see this played again with the cast
We just got Villainous for Christmas and were so excited to discover we could watch these guys play it too! Will DEFINITELY be getting the expansions after watching!!
@44:04 Ashley is unhappy with her token amount and releases the inner child. “I just spent...” 😂
I just recently got into both villainous and critical role, love when things fall together like that
Now I'm just really hoping we get to see y'all play more board games like this because this is great, I miss TableTop, and love you all c:
49:20 That titan should have been trapped when it moved to the location with Zues before Zues was defeated...
He also fare at 41:00 with the chariot, the cart specifically say that is the only thing u cannot do
No idea how this game is played, but the table banter is hilarious!!!
Game the Game with Becca Scott did this game, with Matt & Marisha, Mica Burton, and B. Dave Walters.
That video made it easier to see how the game worked, with some larger clearer graphics of the cards and boards, and some discussion of the mechanics.
(And making fewer rules mistakes than this, where it might be hard to figure out the rules because they're not always following them.)
Card: "You can not use Chariot to perform Fate actions."
Sam: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that.
I don't think he has to pretend, tho. He forgot what the cards did at the end of each of his turns. (I know you were making a joke, sorry)
My favorite episode to date. God, these guys are such fun folks, and they played with such a combination of positivity and strategic cunning. Brilliant!
This is one of my favorite games so i'm so pleased to see these derps play XD
It seems complex.
It is, but if you want to start with a small group I find Prince John, Maleficent, and Captain Hook are the easiest to learn with
@@justintime41776 Also, you don't have to worry what everyone else is doing. You just need to focus on your own little rule set, and if someone else seems excited you throw a bomb at them.
I promise you this game is so much fun and very easy to figure out the general concepts. It’s a lot of fun to figure out each character and strategize and make different combinations. My husband and I spent hours and hours playing this game for months and we’re still not bored.
Didn’t Sam need to *start* his turn with 3 titans in mount olympus? There would have been a whole extra round for shenanigans that may have drastically impacted the outcome
I was just thinking this
@J. Gess But why would anyone let Sam win? If they just wanted to "be done with it", Tal and Ash could at least decided to 2 vs 1 against Sam, no? One of them mess with Sam exclusively while the other focus on winning for exemple!
I know that's what I would do if I were Tal or Ash! ^_^ lol
His ice titan also should have been trapped when it moved onto Zeus, as Zeus hadn't been vanquished yet. And Taliesin technically shouldn't have been able to kill Mufasa, since Simba was out nerfing his hyenas. But, as the chatbot command says, pobody's nerfect! They all had a really fun time playing the game, which is way more important than getting everything 100% rules lawyered correct, hahaha.
I dont own the game but I'd call shenanigans if the Olympus card has move ALLY or item which he abused the last 5 turns . Unless he thinks the titans are items?
@@MewsSister But I think at one point he read the rules which said that you can actually use that action to move titans. Let me check real quick. Yes, he can. 1:03:35 "You may move a Titan using the move action"
How else could he have moved them when moving the Titans is an essential part of Hades' strategy ?
At 8:58, the move of an ally was illegal, an item or ally can only move to an adjacent location of the realm!
More Ashley always and forever.
To make Ashley feel better I always did rock, paper, scissors, shoot and you reveal on shoot.
Male-efficient
I REALLY hope they do more board games from time to time. Reminds me just a smidge of Tabletop.

I’m an intermediate/casual board gamer with all these expansions. For those interested, this is a really neat game, and it is one of the most beautiful in terms of art and components. The way each villain plays differently is well implemented, and particularly with the expansion villains, ingeniously designed in terms of theme. It is easy to learn but surprisingly deep the more you learn about it. Every villain has their own pace and plan, and understanding what your opponent needs to do is key to thwarting their efforts. Stopping Prince John is completely different from stopping Maleficent or Dr Facilier.
However keep in mind it has a very aggressive, “take that” kind of play cadence, which may not sit well with kids or certain adult players. Also balance between the villains is questionable. Many a carefully planned endgame will be foiled by the other players teaming up on you, and while this is thematic, some villains recover far better than others. Hades, Scar and poor poor Úrsula are significantly harder to play than Queen Of Hearts, Dr Facilier or Ratigan.
Also a new expansion is due in March with Cruella, Steamboat Pete and Mother Gothel!
I love villainous. Bought on a whim last year for my family for xmas, and we've been addicted ever since, owning each xpac including the Marvel one which adds new mechanics, gameplay, and meta.
10/10 would recommend
If someone who didn't know asked me "what's critical role?" My answer would be simple: "a group of people who make me happy"
Fun fact: Madge Sinclair (who played Sarabi in The Lion King) also played James Earl Jones's wife in Coming to America.
"GOD DAMNIT!" - Disney, 2019 ;D
"17 EMAILS!!" and they're all from Dani Carr
I would love to see a fan created one shot. Do a poll/survey to determine everything from location to mission (etc). Have those people who answer attach there current character sheet for the players to do; random draw for the selection process. I'd love to see Matt do Japer Beau's voice. The winners could get the mini's used in battle.
It's been a hot minute since the last Fireside Chat...
My wife and I love this game I can't believe I've only just found CR playing it now!
Gotta love the Holst in the background. Venus, I believe.
It would have been funny if they pointed out that Sam didn't win after his celebration.
No need to, Talison will just have a talk with Sam's Patron he's gonna get his powers suspended for this one.😈
Ashley, don't worry about the hat, no one can read the cards unless they have a 7ft TV. lol
My picks for next expansion:
1.Cruella De Vil(Color:White), needs to amass 101 'puppy points' on the board and her cards are all about defending and regaining them once they've been lost or discarded, get a total of a certain numbers of puppy points at her manor, something like that.
2. Clayton(Color: Yellow), his goal is to kill Tarzan and then have all the gorilla cards in his hand(Or if they are fate, to have them all on the board after Tarzan has been killed, or some variation of that. Similar to Scar but he doesn't need to KILL them, just have them and use his tools to overcome the fates the other players throw at him to keep them). His cards are all about drawing as much as possible and killing heroes, amassing all the tools he needs to round up the gorillas(Traps and guns, etc)
3. The Horned King (Color: Dark Red), Throwing this guy in for shits and giggles since the original game has Prince John of all characters to put in the game. His goal is to draw the cards to summon Taran and allies as his fate cards and once they are all summoned, The Horned King may move to the Black Cauldron.
He must keep it on the board for a certain number of turns(say 3,)/start the turn with his character at the cauldron unimpeded by any interlopers(aka fate cards), using his cauldron-born to defend it. The Horned King is sent all the way back to the start of the board if Gurgi is played from the fate deck and used at the Cauldron and buffed to be stronger than the cauldron-born the king is using to defend the cauldron, destroying The Horned King.
Being a lich, this does not permanently kill him and he can use 5 tokens to reform himself at the opposite side of his board, and if he makes it back to the cauldron(He no longer needs to summon the protagonists) he just needs to get there and place an Ally on it along with himself, and he wins. Wouldn't be an easy character to play but it sounds fun to me.
What do yall think?
I've played villainous since it was released and I own both expansions and it is by far one of my favorite board games
I would spend so much money for Sam Riegel to voice over the live-action Lion King and narrate it like David Attenborough with occasional improv lines of what he thinks the characters would say.
at around 26:17 Ashley plays dragon form but doesn't pay the cost for it until later, but she was supposed to take 3 power at the beginning of her turn, so she basically could have played another card, but didn't because she forgot to take power
Oh wow! Disney's Villainous with Sam, Ashley, and an actual Disney Villain! (love you Taliesin lol)
wasn't expecting to hear Holst behind them playing this game I love it Venus is with us
1:04:00 Titans are a unique card type exclusiv to Hades, they are not allies. They are just like curses of Maleficent.
Which means they cant be removed or influenced by any card that targets allies.
It should be better specified in the rule book tho, but good you looked into it!
Maverick is one of my favourite movies, I laugh myself silly every time I watch it.
And fun fact: it's written by the same guy as The Princess Bride!
I don't know which crew member is in charge of picking the background music, but they did an excellent job. Y'all can put Holst anywhere you want, and I'll enjoy it.
The Maverick? Shoot, I'm 1 of 8 people who got the reference.
I also wish they would have played the whole next round like they should have (Hades needs to START his turn before winning) to see if they can counter it.
Garrett Johnson, I’m one of the other 8
@@thedoomofred5174 hopefully we can find the other 6 so we can rest
Start his turn with 3 titans on olympus is the rule? Regardless, it was a fitting win as hades first moved there to be able to lead the charge for his titans. i liked it.
@@dontwanadisplaynameonutube2951 yeah most of the villains conditions to win is to start their turn with whatever goal. It gives the rest of the players a chance to fate them and try to stop them from winning. Hades is also incredibly hard if people are knowledgeable on how it all works. There were a few rules and conditions here that were missed. But overall it was a great game.
For people learning the game at 13:25 The card Whisper says "Choose a card from your FATE discard pile" not your deck discard pile .So he couldn't grab and replay Long Live The King on that turn. Also the location he is at regardless only allows 2 actions. Both of the previous cards were actions so the second Long Live the King could not have been played even if Whisper allowed it. Meaning Tal shouldn't have been able to get Mufasa from the Fate deck that turn.
It's their first time so its whatever but make sure to read the cards carefully to avoid accidents like this. I've been playing this game with friends and family since last week and it's awesome definitely recommend giving it a try!
When he started singing "ill be in your heart" first thing my head was Clayton as a new villain. i wanna see it happen, the tarzan movie was awesome!
lol, the moment Sam pulled that charriot card at the end his smile never left his face xD
dang I was really hoping one of them would play as Ratigan, he's got a really cool 'double objective' mechanic and I was super curious to see it in action... now hoping for another video of this game with a different rotation of players and characters!
Sam's Charisma stats are through the roof! Those missed bits of Disney lore shaved points from my life, but I will always love Sam!
These table shenanigans bring me so much joy. 💖✨I love these fucking nerds.
'Evil comes peppered' Yey. Sure. Makes sense.
I really do like this game. It's fun!
Ok, I know what's better than doing great roleplay while playing this: Doing absolutely terrible roleplaying while playing this game!
I also love that they absolutely do not know what they are doing half the time because no one played this game yet. So much better like that, watching them learn right there.
Also, spontaneously bursting out into any kind of disney song that's in their head. Amazing.
Also, in summary: Taliesin is the best villain because he tricks the others to play into his actions. Ashley is just generally confused it seems^^
I have Maverick. Really fun to go back to every once and a while. Love the opening bit.
I'm a simple man, I see Ashley on a video and I click Like
I would love to see more of this game! You guys should make a series out of this one!
Expansions I would like to see in Villainous:
Gaston
Cruella De Vil
Gothel
Shan Yu
Clayton
Frollo
Evil Stepmother
Lady Tremaine is the step mother's name, and I'd personally be incredibly happy to see Shan Yu or Clayton, as well as Chernabog and Madam Mim.
In fact the 3rd expansion for Villainous , which it' s called " Perfectly Wretched" is coming with Cruella de Vil, Gothel and Pete( Mickey Mouse's Villainous)
17:26 Remember this one Critters.
