VILLAIN GUIDE
JAFAR
VILLAIN GUIDE
Jafar has some cards with Activated Abilities.
See the Instructions for details on how cards
with Activated Abilites are played and their
Abilities activated.
You will want to play
the Scarab Pendant
and the Magic Lamp
as soon as possible.
Scrying and Gazeem
are cards that can help
you find them.
Jafar is able to Hypnotize
Heroes. When you Hypnotize
a Hero, you defeat them and
move them to the bottom of
your Board. The Hypnotized
Hero is now under your control
and is treated as an Ally with
the same Strength. When a
Hypnotized Hero is used to defeat another Hero,
they are both discarded to the Fate discard pile.
Iago may be used to move the Magic Lamp
toward Sultan’s Palace. Snake Staff can help
you get a Hypnotize card when you are ready
to put Genie under your control. Giant
Hourglass weakens Heroes to make them
easier to Hypnotize or defeat.
Effect
HYPNOTIZE
Defeat a Hero and move them
to the bottom of your Board.
That Hero is under your control and
treated as an Ally with the same
Strength. Ignore their Ability.
The Cost to play Hypnotize is
equal to the Hero’s Strength.

GAZEEM
When Gazeem is discarded from
your Realm, you may search
your discard pile for an Item and
put it into your hand.

VILLAIN GUIDE
Vanish allows Maleficent to remain at a

PRINCE JOHN
VILLAIN GUIDE
While Robin Hood is in
Prince John’s Realm, every
time Prince John gains
Power due to an action or
card, he gains 1 less Power
than he would normally
gain. It is usually a good
idea to defeat Robin Hood
as soon as possible!
When Little John is
played, 4 Power is taken
from Prince John and
placed on Little John’s
card. When Little John
is defeated, Prince John
takes all of the Power
back. Waiting for just the
right time to defeat Little
John can help set up an
unexpected victory!
Hero
LITTLE JOHN
When Little John is played, take
4 Power from Prince John and
put it on Little John. When Little
John is defeated, the Power is
returned to Prince John.
5
Hero
ROBIN HOOD
The amount of Power that
Prince John gains from each card
or action is reduced by 1 Power.

Special Fate Cards
When Steal from the Rich is played, 4 Power is
taken from Prince John and placed on any one
Hero that is in his Realm. When a Hero that has
Power on them is defeated, Prince John takes
all of the Power back.
The same Hero may be
used to Steal from the
Rich multiple times,
which can lead to a big
payoff when the Hero
is defeated!

Effect
STEAL FROM THE RICH
Take 4 Power from Prince John
and put it on any one Hero.
When that Hero is defeated, the
Power is returned to Prince John.
Makes You Smaller and
Fury allow Queen of
Hearts to Shrink Heroes.
When a Hero is Shrunk,
rotate the Hero 45
degrees so that only one
action symbol is covered
by the corner of the card,
leaving the other action
available.
If there are multiple
Heroes at a location
with a Shrunken Hero,
the Shrunken Hero
is the only Hero that
covers up an action
symbol. The other
Heroes do not cover
any actions until the
Shrunken Hero is
moved or defeated.
QUEEN OF HEARTS
VILLAIN GUIDE
When an opponent plays
Makes You Larger, they
choose a Hero in your
Realm and Enlarge it. The
Hero card is rotated 90
degrees so that it covers
one action symbol at an
adjacent location in addition
to the two action symbols
at the Hero’s location. Your
opponent chooses which
action to cover.

URSULA
VILLAIN GUIDE
Ursula is unique in that she does not have a
Vanquish action in her Realm. Instead, Ursula
defeats Heroes by using Binding Contracts.
When you play a Binding Contract, attach it to
a Hero. (Binding Contracts are one of the rare
instances where an Item from the Villain deck
can be attached to a Hero.)
Each Binding Contract is tied to a location in
Ursula’s Realm. A Hero with a Binding Contract
attached to them is defeated when they are
moved to the location specified on the card.
Discard the Hero to your Fate discard pile and
discard the Binding Contract to your Villain
discard pile.

Frequently Asked Questions
• What if a card conflicts with the Instructions?
If the Ability on a card violates a rule in the Instructions, the card takes precedence.
• If I reveal a Fate card that cannot be played, do I get to reveal a new one?
No. If a Fate card cannot be played (for example, you revealed an Item and there is no Hero in the Realm to attach it
to), the card may not be played and must be discarded. If you are taking a Fate action and both cards revealed cannot
be played, you must discard both of them without effect. Fate favored your opponent this time!
• If I defeat a Hero during my turn and action symbols are uncovered at my Villain’s location, may I perform those
actions on this turn?
Yes. If an action symbol at your location is uncovered during your turn, you may immediately perform the action.
Likewise, if an action symbol is covered before you perform that action on your turn, you may not perform the action.
• If multiple Heroes are at one location, do I have to defeat them in a certain order?
No. If multiple Heroes are at a location, you may choose which Hero to defeat.
• I have a card that will allow me to defeat a Hero with a Strength of 4 or less. Does this refer to the Strength printed on
the Hero card, or do I factor in other card Abilities?
Whenever referring to a Hero’s (or Ally’s) Strength, always consider all other card Abilities that are in effect in the Realm.
For example, if a Hero has a Strength of 5 printed on their card, but another card in the Realm gives them -1 Strength,
then that Hero’s Strength is considered to be 4 for all purposes.
• If a Hero’s Strength is reduced to 0 by other card Abilities, can I just remove that Hero from the Realm?
No. You must still use a Vanquish action or card Ability to defeat the Hero. However, if you use a Vanquish action, no
Allies need to be discarded. You can defeat the Hero even if you have no Allies at the Hero’s location.
• If I use a card’s Activated Ability, do I then discard it?
No. The card remains in your Realm. There is no limit to the number of times you may activate a card’s Ability, provided
you use an Activate action and pay the card’s Activation Cost, if any, each time.
• Can I play or move a Hero to the bottom of the Board?
No. Fate cards are always played to and moved across the top of the Board, unless a card Ability specifically instructs
you to move a Fate card to the bottom of the Board.

JOLLY ROGER
CAPTAIN HOOK
SKULL ROCK MERMAID LAGOON HANGMAN’S TREE
CAPTAIN HOOK’S
OBJECTIVE
Defeat Peter Pan
at the Jolly Roger.
Ending the Game
Reference
As soon as a player has fulfilled their Villain’s Objective, the game ends and that player is the winner!
Note: Some Objectives are only fulfilled at the start of the turn, as stated on the Villain’s Board.
Realm
All cards in play on either side of your Board are considered to be in your Realm. A card only affects other cards in the same
Realm. No card in one Villain’s Realm will ever affect a card in another Villain’s Realm.
Locked Locations
Some Villains have locations that are locked at the beginning of the game, but which may be unlocked during the game.
A locked location is denoted with a Lock Token.
A Villain cannot move to a locked location. In addition, cards cannot be played to, moved to, or moved from a locked
location. However, if a card is at a location that later becomes locked, the card’s Ability, if any, remains in effect.
“Playing” Cards and “Moving” Cards
Playing a card refers to adding a card to a Villain’s Realm, either from your hand or from a Villain or Fate deck.
Moving a card refers to taking a card that is in your Realm and moving it to a new location. If a card’s Ability is triggered
when it (or another card) is played, the Ability is not triggered if it is moved. Likewise, if a card’s Ability is triggered when it
(or another card) is moved, the Ability is not triggered if it is played.
“Revealing” Cards and “Looking at” Cards
If a card instructs you to reveal cards, either from your hand or from your Villain or Fate deck, turn the cards over so that
all players can see them. If a card instructs you to look at cards, either from your Villain or Fate deck, you may look at them
privately, keeping them secret from the other players. If you ever need to reveal or look at a card from a deck when it is
empty, shuffle the discard pile to form a new deck.
“Finding” a Hero
If a card instructs you to find a specific Hero and play them, you must take the specified Hero from wherever they are and
play them. When finding a Hero, first check to see if they are already at a location in the Realm. If so, remove them from
their location and then play them to the specified location. If the Hero is not already in the Realm, search the Fate discard
pile and play them. If they are not in the Fate discard pile, search the Fate deck, play them, and re-shuffle the Fate deck. Cauldron of

Each player takes the role of a different Disney Villain. Each Villain has a different Objective
they are trying to achieve. Each turn, players move their Villain Mover to a location on their

NOTTINGHAMFRIAR TUCK’S CHURCHSHERWOOD FOREST
PRINCE JOHN’S
OBJECTIVE
Start your turn with
at least 20 Power.
The Jail
Prince John is all about greed, so he needs to
accumulate Power in order to win. However, as
tempting as it might be to save all the Power
you can, you will need to spend some Power in
order to win.
Several Heroes can hinder Prince John’s ability
to gain Power. It is a good idea to play Allies,
even before any Heroes have been played. By
doing so, you will be prepared to Vanquish a
Hero that is affecting your progress.
It’s Good to Be the King!

deck and are one-time events. To play an Effect, pay its Cost
(if one is shown in the upper left corner), do what the card
says, then discard it face up to the appropriate discard pile.
Condition cards are unusual because you play them during an opponent’s turn. They are not played by performing a
Play a Card action. If you have a Condition in your hand and the requirement on the card is met during an opponent’s turn,
you may immediately play the card, do what it says, and then discard it face up to your discard pile.
After a Condition is played, the opponent’s turn continues. Do not draw a new card. You must wait until the end of your
turn to draw back to four cards.
Item cards appear in both the Villain deck and the Fate deck
and have an Ability that affects other cards or actions.
To play an Item from the Villain deck, pay its Cost (shown in the
upper left corner) and place the card below any unlocked location
in your Realm, unless the card says to attach it to an Ally.
If an Item says to attach it to an Ally, you must place the Item
under an Ally in your Realm. If there are no Allies in your Realm to attach the Item to, you may not
play that Item. If an Ally with an Item attached is moved or discarded, all attached Items are moved or
discarded with them.
All Items from the Fate deck are attached to a Hero. To play an Item from the Fate deck, place the card
under a Hero. If there are no Heroes you can attach the Item to, you may not play that Item. If a Hero
with an Item attached is moved or discarded, all attached Items are moved or discarded with them.
Some Items and Allies have Activated Abilities, which are card Abilities that must be
activated to be used. Cards with an Activated Ability include an Activate symbol to
indicate that their Ability is not always in effect. A card with an Activated Ability is
played to a location as normal. Each time you wish to use the card’s Ability, you must
perform the Activate action and pay the Activation Cost, if any.
If an Ally that has an Activated Ability is used to Vanquish a Hero, discard it as normal.
Example: If an Item says
it must be attached to an
Ally, play it underneath
the Ally of your choice.

Example: Pay 1 Power
to play this card, then

Types of Cards
Each player has two decks of cards: Villain cards
(with colored backs) and Fate cards (with white
backs). You play your Villain cards from your hand
to the bottom of your Board, while your opponents
play your Fate cards to the top of your Board.
Any card that is at a location on your Board is considered to be
in your Villain’s Realm. A card’s Ability is ongoing and in effect
for as long as the card remains in your Realm.
There is no limit to the number of Villain cards or Fate cards that
may be played to a location. As cards are played to locations,
slightly offset them so all cards at a location can be seen. Villain Cards Fate Cards

Ally cards appear only in the Villain deck and represent your Villain’s henchmen, helpers,
and pets. To play an Ally, pay its Cost (shown in the upper left corner) and place the card
below any unlocked location in your Realm.
Once Allies have been played to a location, you may use them to defeat Heroes at the same
location by performing the Vanquish action. Each Ally has a Strength (shown in the lower
left corner), which may be modified by other cards in the Realm. Additionally, most Allies
have an Ability that affects other cards or actions. Once an Ally is in your Realm, you’ll need
to decide whether to use it to defeat a Hero or keep it in your Realm for its Ability.
Hero cards appear only in the Fate deck and represent the irksome do-gooders
who are trying to stop your Villain’s sinister plans. You play Heroes from your
opponents’ Fate decks by performing the Fate action. To play a Hero, place the card
so it is covering the top of any unlocked location in that opponent’s Realm.
You can use a Hero to hinder an opponent’s progress by covering useful actions.
The actions covered by a Hero are no longer available until the Hero is moved or
defeated. Each Hero has a Strength (shown in the lower left corner), which may be
modified by other cards in the Realm. Additionally, most Heroes have an Ability that
makes it harder for your opponent to achieve their Objective.
If there are multiple Heroes at a location, and the Hero covering the action symbols
is defeated, move any other Heroes down so one of them covers the symbols.
Note: Some Villains have additional card types unique to
them. These are explained in their respective Villain Guides.
The Lock Token indicates that this
location is locked. You may not
move to a locked location.

Move Your Villain
Move your Villain Mover to a different location. You may move to any location in your
Realm, as long as it is not locked. You may not stay at your previous location.
Draw Cards
At the end of your turn, if you have fewer than four cards in your hand, draw from your Villain deck until you have four.
If you need to draw from your deck when it is empty, shuffle your discard pile to form a new deck.
On Your Turn Do the following, in this order:
2Perform Actions
Each location has symbols representing the actions
you may take when you move there. You may
perform all of the available actions in any order.
Each action may be performed one time for each
symbol that appears. All actions are optional.
(See Types of Actions on the next page.)
During the game, actions may become covered
by Fate cards. If an action is covered, that action is
unavailable and may not be performed until the
card covering it is moved or discarded. When an
action is uncovered, it is immediately available and
may be performed if your Villain is at that location
and it is still your turn.
Now it’s the next player’s turn.

that opponent’s Fate discard pile. You decide how to use the Fate
card’s Ability against your opponent. By taking a Fate action, you
can disrupt an opponent’s progress.
A Hero may be played to any location in that opponent’s Realm,
as long as it is not locked. Play the Hero to the top of their Board,
covering the top of the location. (See Types of Cards for details.)
*See “Revealing” Cards and “Looking at” Cards on page 10.
Vanquish
Defeat one Hero at any location in your
Realm by using one or more Allies that are
already at the same location as the Hero.
Each Ally and Hero has a Strength
(lower left corner) which may be
modified by other cards in the Realm.
The Ally must have a Strength equal
to or higher than the Hero’s Strength.
Multiple Allies may be used by adding
their Strengths together.
To Vanquish the Hero, discard the
Ally (or Allies) to your Villain discard
pile. Discard the defeated Hero to
your Fate discard pile.

Move one Hero at any location in your
Realm to an adjacent location. You may not
move a Hero into or out of a locked location.

Most cards have a Cost that is shown in
the upper left corner. When you play a
card, you must pay its Cost by returning
that many Power to the Cauldron. If you
do not have enough Power to pay a card’s
Cost, you may not play the card.
An Item or Ally may be played to any location in your Realm,
as long as it is not locked. Play the card to the bottom of your
Board, below the location. (See Types of Cards for details.)
Discard Cards
Discard as many cards as you wish from your
hand. Cards should be discarded face up to your
Villain discard pile. Getting rid of unwanted cards
will give you new options on your next turn.
When discarding, do not immediately draw new
cards. You must wait until the end of your turn to
draw back to four cards.
Move an Item or Ally

any location in your Realm to an

=
Example: You have three Allies at the same location as a
Hero with a Strength of 5. Because two of the Allies have
a combined Strength of 5 (4+1), only those two Allies
need to be used to Vanquish the Hero. Discard the Hero
and the two Allies. The third Ally remains at the location.
Note: Each Board is different, and some of
these actions may not appear on your Board.
Important: Your Villain’s location dictates what
actions you may perform. However, you can perform
those actions at any location, as long as it is not locked.
