Choose from one of five villains, each with unique abilities and weaknesses. First, build a secret base by drafting from over seventy different rooms, such as a Robotics Lab, Massage Parlor, or Torture Chamber. These rooms will attract a motley assortment of henchmen to your lair: Beasts, Criminals, Scientists, and Mystics. Want more brainy Scientists around? Build rooms that appeal to them (a Planetarium? or perhaps an Intrinsic Field Chamber?). In this way, each player will construct a unique secret base and recruit an exceptional crew of henchmen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen, assign your henchmen to evil contracts posted around the globe. Become a local warlord in Asia. Steal a nuclear warhead in Europe. Build a floating fortress of doom in South America! Time, however, is a critical resource. The farther away a contract is from your secret base, the more weeks you spend and the fewer contracts that you'll complete in a round. Succeed at contracts to earn infamy and money. Fail, and your henchman might get injured, captured, or serendipitously gain a superpower. Build your secret base, recruit henchmen, and complete as many missions as you can. Along the way, hire mercenaries, hatch schemes, and chastise your lackey. Do so, and the history books might remember you as the best of the worst!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComponents:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 Gameboard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e75 Secret Base Room cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e40 Henchman cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e97 Contract cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8 Mercenary cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14 Power cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25 Scheme cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 Supervillain cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7 Lackey cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 sets (7 pieces in each set) of wooden player tokens\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e28 Trait dice (7 Brawn, 7 Stealth, 7 Intellect, 7 Magic)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10 Injury tokens\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 white Round marker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e55 Money tokens (32x $1, 23x $5)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8 Finale cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10 +1\/+2 tokens\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e30 Hero cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 Player Aid cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eagle Gryphon Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48973115588825,"sku":"609456647892","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/4029\/9481\/files\/ot65nm7lcy3jvhpnc2aa.webp?v=1784574628","url":"https:\/\/recessgames.com\/products\/maniacal","provider":"Recess Games®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
