The Ultimate List of Fun Board Games for Teenagers in 2025

Game Overview

Disney Villainous is another highest-rated board game for teenagers because each player takes on the role of a classic Disney villain. So, on your turn, you’ll move your Villain Mover to a location on your personal board and choose from the available actions. These might include playing cards from your unique Villain deck, moving allies into position, defeating heroes, or collecting power to fuel your next moves.

Meanwhile, your opponents use the Fate deck to try and slow you down by introducing heroes and events from your Villain’s story.

This game includes three different Villains, and they all play in unique ways—so every session feels fresh and challenging.

Whether you’re forming alliances or interfering with others, your goal stays the same: complete your objective before anyone else.

With its familiar characters, it’s an engaging strategy tabletop game pick for teens’ game nights.

Objective Of Disney Villainous

Your path to victory depends entirely on your chosen villain. Each character has a specific objective based on their film’s storyline. Utilise the helpful strategies and tips in your Villain Guide to plan your moves and stay one step ahead.

The game ends immediately when any player completes their Villain’s objective, and that player is declared the winner. Spend time learning your character’s skills so you can adjust your strategy as the game unfolds, and don’t forget to keep an eye on your rivals—they’ll do anything to win, just like you.

1. Move Your Villain

First, move your Villain Mover to a different location within your Realm. You must choose a location that is not locked, and you cannot remain at your previous location.

2. Perform Actions

Next, take actions based on the location you’ve moved to. Each location displays symbols that represent available actions. For each symbol shown, you may perform the corresponding action once. These actions are entirely optional and may be performed in any order you choose.

For example, if you move to a location with four action symbols, you may perform all four actions once each.

3. Draw Cards

At the end of your turn, check your hand. If you have fewer than four cards, draw from your Villain deck until you have four. If your Villain deck is empty, immediately shuffle your discard pile to create a new deck and continue drawing.

Important: You must wait until the end of your turn to draw cards, even if you started the turn with fewer than four.

Finally, once you’ve finished drawing, it’s the next player’s turn.

Types of Actions

1. 1. 1. Gain Power
         Collect Power from the supply equal to the number shown on your current location. Power is your currency—use it to play cards and activate abilities.
      2. Play a Card
         Spend Power to play one card from your hand for each “Play a Card” symbol at your location. Place Items or Allies at any unlocked location in your Realm.
      3. Activate
         Choose an Item or Ally with the Activate symbol in your Realm. Pay its activation cost (if any) and resolve its ability. You cannot activate cards at locked locations.
      4. Fate
         Target an opponent. Reveal two cards from their Fate deck, play one, and discard the other. Use the chosen card to disrupt their progress by placing it at an unlocked location in their Realm.
      5. Move an Item or Ally
         Relocate one Item or Ally from one location to an adjacent, unlocked location. You cannot move Items attached to other characters or into/out of locked locations.
      6. Move a Hero
         Shift one Hero within your Realm to an adjacent, unlocked location. As with other moves, locked locations are off-limits.
      7. Vanquish
         Defeat a Hero at your location using one or more Allies there. Combine their Strengths to match or exceed the Hero’s Strength. Discard the Hero and used Allies.
      8. Discard Cards
         Remove any number of unwanted cards from your hand. Place them in your Villain discard pile. You won’t draw replacements until the end of your turn.
