Dive into the chaotic world of Thwarted! - A Game of Super-Villainy, a casual card game where players step into the shoes of quirky villains on a mission to defeat the superheroes of The City. The only thing standing in each villain's way? Their fellow villains, who are just as eager for glory. With a blend of strategy and humor, players will experience the thrill of villainy while scheming against both heroes and rivals alike.
Each villain has access to a variety of action cards that empower them to steal from opponents, force discards, and counter attacks. This competitive atmosphere leads to unpredictable twists as players attempt to outmaneuver one another while battling the arrogant superheroes. Despite having a common enemy, the villains' selfish motives often hinder collaboration, making for a dynamic gameplay experience full of intrigue and betrayal.
The superheroes are represented through a separate Hero Deck, with each hero possessing an attack value that also counts as their point value at the end of the game. When heroes are defeated, their unique superpowers activate, providing varying advantages and disadvantages to the attacking villain. This feature adds another layer of strategy, as players must consider how defeating a hero can impact their own game plan, as well as those of their adversaries.
The game concludes when either the Hero Deck or Villain Deck runs out of cards. Players then tally their Victory Points to determine who has emerged as "The Greatest Super-Villain of All Time!" With its engaging mechanics and hilarious premise, Thwarted! offers endless replayability and a fun-filled experience for friends and family.
