I love how everyone recognized how easy it would be for Matt to win in the beginning, then saw how close the queen was from winning, which enabled Matt to win
Hades and Cruella De Vil would make good additional villains for this game. If it gets popular, an expansion to it will probably be made and I would elect these two to be added.
Adam Assink Adam Assink I looked it up and found out she is in fact in the game, I’d love to know what her objective is if anyone knows. The Evil Queen, Scar, Cruella De Vil, Hades and Lady Tremaine would all be iconic villains that’d be great to add though!
I wonder if we could possibly add someone like Clayton, or would his objective not be all that workable? or maybe Sher-khan (the tiger from jungle book)
HLGamez - Ursula needs to get King Triton's Crown and Trident to her Lair space and defeat Triton himself. Warlock1080 - For Clayton, perhaps something along the lines of getting to the 'Ape Camp' (which would be a locked location) and defeating a certain number of apes.
My progression of excitement when I saw the thumbnail: “Ooh! Marisha is in this one! I’ll put this in my watch later!” “Oh hey Matt is there too!” “IS THAT MICA BURTON?!?! *immediately clicks the video”
That was one of the best game the game, well done Becca and crew! The interface helper is great to keep track of the game, and as I'm sure it is a lot of work, twice thank you for taking the time!
The fact that when Deception was played at 27:34, Mica immediately yelled “disgrace!” makes me happy that we have someone who knows their Disney, cause I immediately started singing the rest of the song
Prince John seems like an bullet sponge that everyone goes after while another villain slowly takes over because no one realizes how powerful they've become.
Except while you are riddling John full of holes you don't realize you aren't really hurting him, just moving his power around. then he centralizes it all in a few turns and bam HE was the quiet villain no on realized was so powerful! muhahaha
As one who uses Prince John. He's good imo if u can set up defenses. If robin hood is the first fate before u get it set up. Yeah it's gonna be a rough go lol. They did him a huge favor by not playing robin hood lol. I mean they knew his objective was to gain power. Robinhood makes him earn 1 less any time he earns.
53:12 - Marisha (probably inadvertently) cheated here. She moved Male50Cent to Briar Rose's cottage, where the curse "green fire" was. This curse however has to be removed, if the villan moves there, which Marisha never did. But since nobody at the table caught it, this just falls under rule number one of all gaming: What's done is done.
Well, she gained an advantage by not playing by the rules... I DID say it was probably inadvertently, because I don't believe Marisha to be a cheater at all... But, you know, semantics...
That's the thing. Saying "cheated" is pretty loaded, and you don't even think she cheated. You think she made a mistake. It's not a big deal, but words shape us. It's good to think about the ones we use.
Maybe it's a language barrier thing. English is not my native tongue. I intended to say that she gained an unfair advantage over the other players by not following the rules, while NOT implying it was done on purpose.
We are heartless We are wicked We are cruel We are your worst nightmare And yet.....we are defeated by children and fairies every time🙄 -Disney villains
true,he shud have stayed where he stole the sword but jafar allie would've still taken him out the next turn so eh... i think bigger mistake was maleficent moving to briar forest and not turning off the fire curse
Oh GOD I love this. I love how into it they all are. The outfits are just a pure delight. I can just keep staring at all of them and enjoy all the details put into them. They all look greeeaat. Also once again immensely enjoy Matts whole acting, because he so effortlessly puts on a character and stays in character for so much if he wants to. My favorite of the bunch has to be Maleficent, just character-wise. 'Don't enjoy this so much. It makes us nervous' Well, I bet that's a nice bonus to him there xD Certainly not stopping that now. 'I guarantee you that fanfic exists' They all do, that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. It either does already, or has just been spoken into existence by you. Also Matt just kinda sobbing every time some else gains power was a great touch too. Also, uh, shouldn't the green fire have vanished as marisha moved Maleficent back there? Or am I misreading? Ah, well. Not that it matters much in the end here. 'because he's keeping the fate token so he can't get boned' I love the way Matt kinda kicks his feet as they realize that. He's a strategist and always dangerous. Never count the man out. Matt waiting exactly until the turn was over and then going 'oh, I gain 2 power because my warrant's there' was pretty amazing. He knew. He saw that. Can't tell me someone like Matt missed that as it happened. He just kept his straight face and curiously inspected his own cards until Micah was done with her turn, because he is done with that. Great win from Matt there. Magnificently done! Also looks like a fun game.
The historical Prince John is my 26th great-grandfather, and I’m playing Prince John in the play The Lion In Winter right now. So Disney’s Prince John holds a very special place in my heart. Getting to see Matthew Mercer play him? A DELIGHT. And 19:10-19:20 is a GIFT.
I've seen this like 5 times and CANNOT believe how smoothly Matt did what he did. that is the scariest man i can think of, to play Texas Hold Em with. JEEZ. a good game 👍!
Came for Matt and Marisha, stayed because the game looked actually really good. As a Disneyphile, this would be one game i would love to play repeatedly. Love that Matt won despite the mass fateing he took early on. Everyone was cool Well done GtG......
The game looks rather fun and strategic. However, Queen of Hearts (And the rest) missed that the King ally lowers the cost to *PLAY* a Card Guard by one. The White Rabbit increased the cost to *ACTIVATE* a Card Guard by one. So, they do NOT cancel eachother out, as she posed. I'm so much fun at parties..
Also around 25:36 they played the Abu card incorrectly. Abu is supposed to steal an item at his location; instead, they played him to one location, then had Abu steal the scimitar from a different location. I, too, am fun at parties.
@@gregoryrawls2910 Came for that, they also discarded the scimitar instead of returning it. I suppose it should just have lied there until a hero (sorry, henchperson) could pick it up. And you guys are always fun at board game parties, where is the fun in playing a game if you have no rules?
I wish people could better present some of these tabletop games. Not a lot of people put effort into presenting games property, and such a shame when it's a popular game.
I just recently bought and played this game tonight and it was confusing at first but seeing this video and the rules video have helped a lot on understanding the game.
I know I'm late but I love and hate how they miss things. Like how Matt literally just won at 1:10:10 when she made the hero go to Nottingham giving him the warrant power.
Maleficent also had a few slides too. One of her curse cards if she places her character on there gets discarded and she did it like 3 times but nobody paid attention 😂. I thought the person who was playing Jafar saw but nobody worried about it lol
At 25:00 , the Abu card states that he grabs an Item from HIS location and not A location. So Abu would have to have been played to the same spot as Razoul. Outcome would probably have been the same but Razoul wouldn't have been moved.
Hey friend! Just thought I'd let you know, Critical Role just did an Anything Is Content of Disney Villainous, involving Taliesin Jaffe playing Scar. :D
42:54 Matt you had the perfect opportunity for a role play moment and you blew it You should have been "I WANT MY MOMMY!" then procceded to pretend to suck your thumb and tug your ear at the same time!!! LOL
Just rewatched this. The discard cards action can be used to discard multiple cards if wanted. This can help cycle through the deck to get the cards you need much faster.
Expansion/Stand called "Wicked to the Core" is going to have Evil Queen (Snow White), Hades (Hercules), & Dr. Facilier (Princess and the Frog). Set to be release March 3rd .
At 25:00 how does Abu steal the scimitar and subsequently run to Streets of Agrabah? The card states he steals an item at 'his location'....If so, he must stay at Oasis, becuase that is where the item is. He can't steal and then move upon deployment, or deploy at Streets and steal from an adjacent loctaion. What am I missing?
Captain Hook: How is everyone's power doing? Prince John: Can we not talk about that? Queen of Hearts: Oh I am doing great! I have about 20- Prince John: CAN WE NOT TALK ABOUT THAT
Insert Keyleth joke here. :P Marisha's quite good with rules once she knows them, but taking in rules text seems to be something that doesn't happen easily for her. I was surprised when she played that curse on a location she was likely to want to go. And then it made sense when she went there without discarding it. Oh well, mistakes happen, and fortunately it didn't affect the game, not even drawing any further fates her way by having an extra curse out. Interesting balance mechanic to have curses have restrictions on what you can do, but instead of making it impossible they just make it a tradeoff.
I said to myself I was going to be a dick and not watch the full play through unless Little John was played. Then they threw in Mercer so I guess I need to stay. Edit after watching: I was real sad for most of the game and then the end occurred and I was no longer sad.
Prince John has some fascinating design. Having a hero in the jail gives no drawbacks, meaning John can use move effects to essentially ignore any heroes. His fate deck is built in such a way however, that this isn't always the best option. Cards that steal power incentivise defeating them properly.
1) Slight Tactical Advice, when playing the Cheshire Cat, the Card Guard at its location should have been left in wicket mode. This forces the Red Queen to spend power to switch the card guard to combat mode to fight the Cheshire Cat, this means no matter what multiple turns had to be spent moving to activate the ability to switch stances, either to fight, or to avoid fighting. 2) Found it interesting the Prince John won BECAUSE King Richard showed up. 3) Should have disguised Lady Cluck, not Maid Marian
Five years later, I know, but just have to point out, when Maleficent moved to the spots she'd cursed previously, she should have discarded those curses, at least that's what the Curse cards themselves say
Love the cast, the episode was amazing, everyone played very well, 99% chance that I'm going to get this but the balancing issues with some of the characters could be a bit frustrating. Jafar seems very high risk high reward because as Matt said, if you get all the cards at the beginning you can coast but if not, there is not much you can do. I know it was said that there are faster ways you can do it but there seemed to be almost nothing that could be done in this one and that is concerning (guess I'll just have to see). Also, hook seems a bit off due to the movement aspect but I imagine if they give him 2 movement spaces then he is unbalanced (too overpowered). I understand that some villains are probably going to be a bit more difficult no matter what but this is something to keep an eye on while playing I guess. Other than that, the game is amazing and I very much agree that I do enjoy how they integrated everything and made it feel individualized. Also, very interested to see how ursula plays as well!
Jafar is one of the more advanced characters and requires a different mindset. People tend to want to hold onto cards they think they'll need eventually rather than dig aggressively for the cards you need right now and Jafar is all about sacrifices. So B. Dave was behind because he needed to use his discard space more aggressively and he probably would have been in the running. A lot of this information is included in the guides for each villain that come with the game. Captain Hook has other ways to move Peter Pan that weren't included in the video. While he only has one movement space on his board, he can add another with the card Ingenious Device, and he has a pirate, Mr. Starkey, who moves a Hero when he comes into play, so he does have more tools than just the one space on his board. Ursula plays very different from the other characters because she doesn't have very many Allies (only Flotsam and Jetsam) so rather than the Vanquish action she utilizes Binding Contracts to play on Heroes. The Contracts all specify a location and you attach them to Heroes and then move them to those locations to defeat them by turning them into polyps.
Jafar not that hard, you just have to burn through your deck with discard until you get the pendant. But compared to the others it is more advanced. I've felt that Ursula and Jafar were the hardest along with Hook.
At one point she moved Maleficent to a location where the curse card says "If Maleficent moves to this location discard this curse" it bugs me that that didn't happen.
On that exact same turn she also moved an ally to a non-adjacent location. It’s hard to know all the rules and stopping the game to correct rules would ruin the vibe. Though I too wish there was some way to have rule people in an earpiece to let them know they have broken a rule
What got me was that Mica kept taunting Matt with all her power, then also kept playing cards but didn't 'spend' the power to play them. I can't have been the only one who saw that more than once.
"He has a sword!"
"You fools, we all have swords" lol
I'm disappointed that none of them caught that moment.
I was so waiting for somebody to say it and none of them did XD
*Abu noise here*
Im so happy this is here i was coming to do it cause it had to be said and they didn't.
Thank you

I love how everyone recognized how easy it would be for Matt to win in the beginning, then saw how close the queen was from winning, which enabled Matt to win
I love how Matt clearly noticed Micah had played onto his warrant but didn't say anything until it moved onto Becca's turn so they couldn't retcon it

And Mica Burton and Marisha Ray as well.
Matt plays a great John

Yes he is a great Prince John.

As soon as they ganged up on Matt, I was rooting for him the whole way :D This was an amazing video!

I love the villainous voice used by the Prince John player. Felt very suitable!
Ah yes, Matthew Mercer. Dungeon Master extraordinaire and voice actor. Check out his NPCs for critical role.
High chance you've heard him in a video game or anime dub.
He did an excellent job as Prince John Matt nail the voice and personality perfectly.

@@SuperSonicMax404 Sora :P haha, jk.
Indeed. The villains would’ve gotten away with the most evil deeds if it wasn’t for those meddling kids.
24:36 I believe the correct way to play Abu is that he can only take an item from the location he is played on.
true,he shud have stayed where he stole the sword
but jafar allie would've still taken him out the next turn so eh...
i think bigger mistake was maleficent moving to briar forest and not turning off the fire curse
It did mean he had to use a location that allowed him to move and vanquish rather than just vanquish though, not sure if that made a difference though
Agreed, Abu had to be played at the Oasis to steal the item.
Wasn’t the item supposed to be returned to Jafar at the same location when Abu was defeated?
Hell ya, Matt sporting bling in both ears and hella appropriate for a prince that is so into power, money and bling!! 💖

I played with the Purple expansion first and I have to say, it took about 3 tries before I really understood the game well.
@57:39 ...Oh, my days. The Numa Numa reference had me dying over here. I seriously replayed that part a dozen times. That was amazing.
No matter how often I see this it always so entertain and one of the best board games I've seen
48:12 That's what I call, getting into character.
I know I'm late but I love and hate how they miss things. Like how Matt literally just won at 1:10:10 when she made the hero go to Nottingham giving him the warrant power.
and she even pointed it out :D like... whaaat?!
The lesson we learned today is that the key to victory is going to jail.
I really feel the queen was just making up her own power math, taking power on empty circles and spending less than the card says...
Right!
She did other things to cheat too.
Maleficent also had a few slides too. One of her curse cards if she places her character on there gets discarded and she did it like 3 times but nobody paid attention 😂. I thought the person who was playing Jafar saw but nobody worried about it lol
I’m a pop in and say don’t be too hard on the players because there are a lot of rules to keep straight in this game
This was a great group of players. Too often I am not excited to watch these games because the players do not excite me, but this was wonderful.
My daughter and I love rewatching this episode.
27:34 Deception, Disgrace. That’s from Lion King 2 Simba’s Pride, song titled “One of Us” right? And the Fate me was hilarious!
At 25:00 , the Abu card states that he grabs an Item from HIS location and not A location. So Abu would have to have been played to the same spot as Razoul. Outcome would probably have been the same but Razoul wouldn't have been moved.
53:48 they forgot that if you move maleficent into the same space as green fire curse that curse is discarded 🤦♂️
Matt as Prince John is everything I needed in my life
Came here looking for video instructions on how to play villainous. Stayed for Matt and Marisha. My day is made.

Finally a game play to really teach us how to play this game I’ve been searching for a hot min and found you.
That was fun. I just got the game for my mom . "Mother's day gift".
Thanks you guys.
53 minute, she should have discarded that curse!
bartoix1 I know right
I know!!!
they let her get away with everything
PENALTY! TAXATION!
When I played with my family, someone put a King Hubert on my thorn curse, but that shouldn't have been possible, in hindsight. :/
I realized that too
Prince John has some fascinating design. Having a hero in the jail gives no drawbacks, meaning John can use move effects to essentially ignore any heroes. His fate deck is built in such a way however, that this isn't always the best option. Cards that steal power incentivise defeating them properly.
I just got the game today and it looks even better in person... I can't wait to play it!!
I watched the whole thing. So much fun! I am getting this game for sure. Thanks for this video!!!
Never heard Rachmaninoff Prelude in C# Minor as an orchestral arrangement before. That makes it even more ominous than it already is
19:18s editing was amazing
The editing are just spot on. Love it! hope you keep up the good style. :)
LOLOL I loved Becca's Rick and Morty reference at 46:03.
1) Slight Tactical Advice, when playing the Cheshire Cat, the Card Guard at its location should have been left in wicket mode. This forces the Red Queen to spend power to switch the card guard to combat mode to fight the Cheshire Cat, this means no matter what multiple turns had to be spent moving to activate the ability to switch stances, either to fight, or to avoid fighting.
2) Found it interesting the Prince John won BECAUSE King Richard showed up.
3) Should have disguised Lady Cluck, not Maid Marian
Five years later, I know, but just have to point out, when Maleficent moved to the spots she'd cursed previously, she should have discarded those curses, at least that's what the Curse cards themselves say
These are getting better and better. Loved this episode!
Why does the queen of hearts keep taking 2 power on a location that only gives 1?
Tikay or from a location with none at all! Super confused. Was she cheating or was there something we missed?
The graphic they made was incorrect, the location gives 2 but the graphic says 1
@@ItsEnZe what about how she kept paying less power for cards
At 55.00 he makes a nice literary reference to Poe 🙃🤟
Love the cast, the episode was amazing, everyone played very well, 99% chance that I'm going to get this but the balancing issues with some of the characters could be a bit frustrating. Jafar seems very high risk high reward because as Matt said, if you get all the cards at the beginning you can coast but if not, there is not much you can do. I know it was said that there are faster ways you can do it but there seemed to be almost nothing that could be done in this one and that is concerning (guess I'll just have to see). Also, hook seems a bit off due to the movement aspect but I imagine if they give him 2 movement spaces then he is unbalanced (too overpowered). I understand that some villains are probably going to be a bit more difficult no matter what but this is something to keep an eye on while playing I guess. Other than that, the game is amazing and I very much agree that I do enjoy how they integrated everything and made it feel individualized. Also, very interested to see how ursula plays as well!
Jafar is one of the more advanced characters and requires a different mindset. People tend to want to hold onto cards they think they'll need eventually rather than dig aggressively for the cards you need right now and Jafar is all about sacrifices. So B. Dave was behind because he needed to use his discard space more aggressively and he probably would have been in the running. A lot of this information is included in the guides for each villain that come with the game.
Captain Hook has other ways to move Peter Pan that weren't included in the video. While he only has one movement space on his board, he can add another with the card Ingenious Device, and he has a pirate, Mr. Starkey, who moves a Hero when he comes into play, so he does have more tools than just the one space on his board.
Ursula plays very different from the other characters because she doesn't have very many Allies (only Flotsam and Jetsam) so rather than the Vanquish action she utilizes Binding Contracts to play on Heroes. The Contracts all specify a location and you attach them to Heroes and then move them to those locations to defeat them by turning them into polyps.
Jafar not that hard, you just have to burn through your deck with discard until you get the pendant. But compared to the others it is more advanced. I've felt that Ursula and Jafar were the hardest along with Hook.
Please do the other expansions, love both your guys gameplays
At around 25:00 when Abu is played he is supposed to take an item at his LOCATION not take an item and go to any location.
At one point she moved Maleficent to a location where the curse card says "If Maleficent moves to this location discard this curse" it bugs me that that didn't happen.
On that exact same turn she also moved an ally to a non-adjacent location. It’s hard to know all the rules and stopping the game to correct rules would ruin the vibe. Though I too wish there was some way to have rule people in an earpiece to let them know they have broken a rule
What got me was that Mica kept taunting Matt with all her power, then also kept playing cards but didn't 'spend' the power to play them. I can't have been the only one who saw that more than once.
She's just a cheater.
@@jerryharris876 or maybe it was just a mistake? Lol, she wouldn’t blatantly cheat on a live stream
It was a pleasure watching you play. You made me smile and laugh :) Thank you!
53:00 (ish) The curse should have been discarded.
34:55 Why does she get two power when it says one power on the courtyard?
RACHMANINOFF PRELUDE, gorgeous choice of music
Prince John just proved that money is power..... taxes for everyone!😁
I absolutely love this game so much I have all of the expansions. I’m really excited for the Bigger and Badder expansion with Syndrome!
21:00 Mica & Matt: YOU JUST ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!
Gf and I watched this video together and instantly ordered it XD
