Villains & Henchmen!
In Villains & Henchmen!, you become the bad guys in an attempt to break a fellow villain from maximum security prison! Acquire awesome powers, defeat meddling heroes, and overcome troublesome obstacles in this (mostly) cooperative comic book themed game! You’ll have to work together to win, but whoever scores the most Villain Points claims the title of “villain”, relegating the others to the role of mere henchmen! With 4 different prisons, 22 unique super powers, 15 unique heroes, and an Event deck that serves as the AI, no two games of V&H! will be the same!

Why we are Excited
I love deck-builders and villain's so….. why not combine the two. Players work together as Villain's but try to out do each other at the same time. I like that this seems to be a cooperative — without being a full cooperative. Kind of like — lets work together to defeat this guy …. but in the end, I’m going to do what I have to in order to win. I also think the art work for this game looks interesting.
