“ Villainous is a tabletop game where you take on the roles of a Villain (either Disney, Marvel or now Star Wars!) and you try to achieve their goal that usually is thwarted in their story” Mulvihill explains. In the original Disney animation-based games, that might see Ursula trying to become Queen of the Ocean, or Captain Hook being able to lure Peter Pan to his defeat.
“I worked on Disney Villainous since the first set.” Mulvihill says of his creation, which has grown hugely from the first games success, though it was not his first personal success. His game design can be found in the likes of Shadowrun (TTRPG), Heroclix, and Pirates of the Spanish, as well as Horrified. “After that, we pushed for Marvel Villainous, and I helped create that version of the game. Our next target was Star Wars Villainous, and I started doing concepting on the game as we discussed with the licensor.”
