More Decks!
Penguins are just the beginning! We plan to expand Villain! to a multi-deck set. We're planning anything from Cats vs Bears, to jaw-dropping Anime inspired decks, to Capitalists vs Communists. Want your own themed deck? Come tell us what your ideal Villain! is.
Swap decks, steal decks, combine decks! We are giving you more ways to play. Penguins vs Communists, Villagers vs Bears, Vampires vs different Vampires. More combinations than you can shake a wooden stake at!
The Story of Villain!
And now some haunting words from the creator of this dark game… “The game of Villain! was created by firelight, on a cold summer's night. That's because I was camping, and wanted to create a game that required only a deck of cards and a secret desire to bite your friends and family.
I called the first version of the game "Secret Vampire", inspired by games like "Fox In The Forest" and "Werewolf". I wanted a game where someone would secretly turn against the other players, provoking tons of accusations and blatant lies. A real family game!
It wasn't long before my fellow campers (my wife and kids) wanted to play every day. Then, lo and behold, other campers who had overheard us playing began asking if they could learn. Perfect strangers who, I assumed, also had a secret desire to bite their friends and family. After the third time this happened, I knew I had something special. Now with the help of my fellow Brave Chickens, we’ve expanded the game to feature more than just vampires. We have plans for pirates, predators and penguins. Perfection!
So the game is now called “Villain!” Because regardless of who (or what!) draws that Ace Of Spades, you've got to be ready with an accusation and sharp stick! – Cody Vigue, Creator of Villain!
