Ravensburger Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics – Darth Maul & Captain Phasma (Expandalone)

Immersive Star Wars Villainous Experience

Step into the Dark Side with Ravensburger’s Cold Tactics. This expand-alone package lets you enjoy a complete game on its own or blend it with any Star Wars Villainous title to broaden the galactic confrontation. Choose Darth Maul or Captain Phasma and pursue your unique objective through careful card play, cunning moves, and strategic timing. The art and components invite you to feel every moment of the struggle for control, from tense planning to dramatic reveals at the table.

The core mechanics remain delightfully tangible: slide your villain’s sculpted mover to a new location on your sector board to unlock location-specific actions. Use those actions to deploy cards, inch closer to your objective, and draw from your opponents’ Fate deck to shake up their plans. Each decision blends theme with strategy, so your choices matter as you weigh risk against reward and anticipate rival moves across the galaxy.
