Sentinels of the Multiverse: Villains of the Multiverse is an expansion for Sentinels of the Multiverse released in 2015 for 2–5 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Adam Rebottaro, Christopher Badell, and Paul Bender and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Cooperative Game.
Description from the publisher: The many villains from the Multiverse have been bested by the Freedom Five or Dark Watch or the Prime Wardens or even heroes not from a particular team. Many of those villains are prideful and would not deign to work with others, as their goals would not align. However, some of them have seen the value of cooperating towards a common goal, and those villains have joined forces, even at cross purposes, to defeat the heroes who have harried them for so long. Some of these villains, such as Plague Rat or Biomancer, are more hesitant to work with other villains, whereas others, such as Citizens Hammer & Anvil or Sergeant Steel, are more than happy to join forces with other like-minded combatants. Villains of the Multiverse is a collection of ten super-powered villains for Sentinels of the Multiverse, and rather than being standalone villains, they work as part of a team of villains in the play style introduced in Sentinels of the Multiverse: Vengeance to group villains together as a team fighting against the hero team. Additionally, Villains of the Multiverse includes four new environments that can be used in any Sentinels of the Multiverse game.
Sentinels of the Multiverse: Villains of the Multiverse supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Sentinels of the Multiverse: Villains of the Multiverse is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Sentinels of the Multiverse: Villains of the Multiverse for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Sentinels of the Multiverse: Villains of the Multiverse has a complexity rating of 2.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
