About the game
In Heroes of San Villano, you take command of an organization of superheroes in the mission to defend and to consecrate in the city of San Villano, renamed after a legendary villain, known only as San Villano, made the number of villains per square meter extrapolate all world records. Players will recruit new heroes and sidekicks, track and face the most feared (and unlikely) villains of the planet, in this little big game of worker placement with a touch of rock, paper, scissors, set collection and a pinch of take that. Every two actions, a new city card is revealed, making available more powerful action where players can collect resources, recruit heroes, use their skills, track villains or face them. After all the city cards are revealed, the game ends and the one that adds up the most victory points is the winner.
