If you’re going to make an announcement on April Fools’ Day, it had better fit the occasion, and RavensburgerOpens in a new tab is doing just that. Thursday morning marks the games company’s unveiling of an expansion (an “expandalone,” actually) for its popular game Marvel Villainous. Marvel Villainous: Mischief & Malice adds the most-requested villain to the game: LokiOpens in a new tab. The trickster god is just one of the villains coming to the board in Mischief & Malice; Madame Masque and M.O.D.O.K.Opens in a new tab join him. And the all-new original artwork depicting these villains is gorgeous. Even the box artwork, featuring Loki’s silhouette, grabs the eye.

If you’ve played Marvel Villainous or even Disney VillainousOpens in a new tab, you know the objective: to dominate the universe as own of its worst and baddest. In this game, which is the first expandalone in the Marvel Villainous line, each villain has a unique story-based objective. Whoever completes their objective first wins. Loki must, unsurprisingly, gain a certain amount of mischief. M.O.D.O.K.’s goal is to work with A.I.M. and activate the Cosmic Cube. Then Madame Masque has to defeat heroes to settle a vendetta.

Mischief & Malice comes with improved metallic movers, special Multiverse cards (they’re in Loki’s deck), villain cards, fate cards, tokens, reference cards, villain guides, and of course, a rulebook.
