#EverythingIsContent 

My favorite part of this is everyone badly imitating their villains. Sam: Pirate Hades Ashley: Irish Maleficent Taliesin: Drunk Scar

Ashley Johnson: "I build fireplaces from scratch." Matt and Marisha: "How hard could using a fireplace be?"

Ashley and Tal, two of the most magnificently metal people Sam. One of the most magnificent and most non-metal people This couldnt be any more perfect

Lets just take a moment and appreciate AGAIN that Ashley is back. That is all.

Every December 2019 CR video: ASHLEY'S BACK!

"Don't take that bit any further. Please god, don't take that bit- just park that bit in the ocean" Tal, ancient mysterious pyramid saying what we're all thinking

I think Taliesin or Matt would enjoy playing Doctor Facilier from Wicked to the core a lot. He's a little complicated but super interesting to set up a win

Ashley: [exasperated sounds] Henry, wanders over: /Do you need to scratch my head?/ Sam, scratches Henry's head. Henry: /Good, humans successfully chilled out, moving on./ Henry moves on.

Sam is partially correct about someone else singing for Scar: Jeremy Irons hurt his voice doing the "You won't get a sniff without me" line in Be Prepared so Jim Cummings took over. At least, that's what I've read in comments on videos of the song.

It's great able to see Ashley just hang out and play.

Hades would be Ursula's uncle since she is the sister of King Triton who is, in Greek myth, the son of Poseidon

23:52 - Sam asking Ashley if she's practicing for her one-shot totally reminded me that we are getting a one-shot by Ashley thanks to the kick-starter! I'm so curious what it's going to be. Imagine if it was Last of Us themed!

The Lolita jokes. Tal's reaction to the Lolita jokes. I die

I love how Sam literally works for the Disney Channel and somehow still has 0 Disney knowledge.

44:36 Taliesin remembering his youth.

I love how the mirror chimes in to help during Maleficent's turn.

Fitting for Taliesin... how will they even compete?

I love how hard they're trying not to curse, I was waiting for the "gag me with a spoon" moment.

I love them so much! I am so happy that Ashley is back!

A master troll , A quiet but wild Johnson And an almighty goth let the insanity commence!

Hi! We're the invention and design studio for Disney Villainous. (We're on the back of the box). Thank you for playing our game! Great video. #TeamMaleficent There's a new expansion announced today that brings three new villains: Cruella de Vil, Mother Gothel, and Pete!

Yes Sam, Sarabi is indeed Simba's mom and Mufasa's wife. She has the distinction of being one of the few living protagonist-moms in the Disney canon. And Whoopi Goldberg's hyena is Shenzi.

This brings it home... Can we all pause and just smile saying: Ashley is with us! ❤️

I want to live in Sam's bubble and see the world through his eyes.

This is excellent. I enjoy how Ashley never considers removing her hat.

"Am i Irish right now?" More so than Molly ever was..

Lol I like how Sam read the chariot like 4 times and then still used it to cheat out a fate action when it says you can't use it to fate

Hearing Taliesin say "Merryweather" is taking me right back to Shadow of the Crystal Palace

Oh, and it's such a blessing to have Ashley back! She blew this show open ahahahah! So funny!

1:30:40 jesus ashley did the young Simba perfectly

*Spoilers* I love how Sam just declared victory when he put the titan on Olympus, but it specifies you need to START your turn with 3 titans on Olympus, so Tal and Ashley had a chance to stop him before he was victorious.

I just looked up how the other villains work and a lot of them have really interesting mechanics. My two favourites right now are Ratigan, who has one shot at completing his main objective and goes feral and switches to "Defeat Basil" if it fails, and Yzma, who has to defeat Cuzco with Kronk... the catch is that Kronk is prone to switching sides. The videogame fan in me can seriously imagine a Master Xehanort expansion. His goal is convoluted enough to be an objective in a game like this. It would be something like: "Have 13 Strength worth of Allies and 13 Strength worth of Heroes at the Keyblade Graveyard, then play Kingdom Hearts." Alternatively, he works like Ratigan in that if something goes wrong with his main goal, he splits into Ansem and Xemnas, who each have their own goals. (Ansem would be "have all locations fall to darkness", Xemnas would be "control 13 vessels")

getting the cr cast to play your game is such effective marketing because ive seen this game in stores a million times and thought it sounded boring but this looks like so much fun lol and am now going to buy it

for those who want more there's also a video of matt and marisha playing this over on geek and sundry

44:45 The All Father and Great Old One accurately telling us what ancient stories were about. Very true!

2:45 when three-way boulder parchment shears DOESN'T go wrong

I'm one of those eight people that got that "Maverick" reference. Such a fun movie.

I'm always here for more Ashley content! Gotta make up for the months she's missed out on

Please make a show where you all play boardgames!

Ashley's back, for real, that's so nice beyond words

18:44 when Ashley turns into aisling bea, holy cow i am crying laughing ;-D

Disney, Imma tell you something: yesterday I couldn't care less for this game... Now I'm going to buy it so I can play with my family at Christmas. You should thanks these people with some more cash!

would love to see this played again with the cast

No idea how this game is played, but the table banter is hilarious!!!

19:23 *Ashley has three curses on the 4 she needs to win* Ashley : "Yeah guys, I'm set up for success here" Me: uhmmm I want to believe that but the video is 1:42:30 so something is about to go extremely wrong.

I just recently got into both villainous and critical role, love when things fall together like that

I promise you this game is so much fun and very easy to figure out the general concepts. It’s a lot of fun to figure out each character and strategize and make different combinations. My husband and I spent hours and hours playing this game for months and we’re still not bored.

More Ashley always and forever.

i'm gonna start a thread of timestamps of every time ashley has made me laugh because she's my favorite 0:49 1:35 2:30 7:09 8:59 11:57 why did i start this thread i'm just writing down everything she says 13:44 15:36 17:57 18:42 19:09 "i have three curses motherfff-- --" 23:29 24:53 25:53 hi ellie 31:51 41:55 43:42 44:09 53:40 54:40 58:16 1:02:46 "i understand jokes" 1:33:52

We just got Villainous for Christmas and were so excited to discover we could watch these guys play it too! Will DEFINITELY be getting the expansions after watching!!

At 56:26 even the dog is scared of the char so tell me again that it isn't a villain that the mighty nien have to face at a later time.

My wife and I love this game I can't believe I've only just found CR playing it now!

56:10 Henry knows! Chairs can NOT be trusted!

so um, anyone notice that sam didn"t win? he had to BEGIN his turn with 3 titans on Olympus. he still had one more round to be stopped.

@44:04 Ashley is unhappy with her token amount and releases the inner child. “I just spent...” 😂

This is one of my favorite games so i'm so pleased to see these derps play XD

Card: "You can not use Chariot to perform Fate actions." Sam: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that.

Now I'm just really hoping we get to see y'all play more board games like this because this is great, I miss TableTop, and love you all c:

I love Everything is Content!

Taliesin once again busting out the perfect lines!'I mean I can look it up, but I don't need to.' 1:00:05

I'd definitely watch another one of these with the rest of the crew, splitting up the couples, so maybe Brian, Marisha, Travis and then another one with Laura, Matt and Liam?

At 8:58, the move of an ally was illegal, an item or ally can only move to an adjacent location of the realm!

More Ashley please.

Didn’t Sam need to *start* his turn with 3 titans in mount olympus? There would have been a whole extra round for shenanigans that may have drastically impacted the outcome

49:20 That titan should have been trapped when it moved to the location with Zues before Zues was defeated...

"GOD DAMNIT!" - Disney, 2019 ;D

I would spend so much money for Sam Riegel to voice over the live-action Lion King and narrate it like David Attenborough with occasional improv lines of what he thinks the characters would say.

It would have been funny if they pointed out that Sam didn't win after his celebration.

If someone who didn't know asked me "what's critical role?" My answer would be simple: "a group of people who make me happy"

Fun fact: Madge Sinclair (who played Sarabi in The Lion King) also played James Earl Jones's wife in Coming to America.

To make Ashley feel better I always did rock, paper, scissors, shoot and you reveal on shoot.

I REALLY hope they do more board games from time to time. Reminds me just a smidge of Tabletop.

My favorite episode to date. God, these guys are such fun folks, and they played with such a combination of positivity and strategic cunning. Brilliant!

"17 EMAILS!!" and they're all from Dani Carr

Oh wow! Disney's Villainous with Sam, Ashley, and an actual Disney Villain! (love you Taliesin lol)

wasn't expecting to hear Holst behind them playing this game I love it Venus is with us

Ashley, don't worry about the hat, no one can read the cards unless they have a 7ft TV. lol

I’m an intermediate/casual board gamer with all these expansions. For those interested, this is a really neat game, and it is one of the most beautiful in terms of art and components. The way each villain plays differently is well implemented, and particularly with the expansion villains, ingeniously designed in terms of theme. It is easy to learn but surprisingly deep the more you learn about it. Every villain has their own pace and plan, and understanding what your opponent needs to do is key to thwarting their efforts. Stopping Prince John is completely different from stopping Maleficent or Dr Facilier. However keep in mind it has a very aggressive, “take that” kind of play cadence, which may not sit well with kids or certain adult players. Also balance between the villains is questionable. Many a carefully planned endgame will be foiled by the other players teaming up on you, and while this is thematic, some villains recover far better than others. Hades, Scar and poor poor Úrsula are significantly harder to play than Queen Of Hearts, Dr Facilier or Ratigan. Also a new expansion is due in March with Cruella, Steamboat Pete and Mother Gothel!

Oh no they had 1 more turn!. Hades has to "start your turn with 3 titans in Mt Olympus"

lol, the moment Sam pulled that charriot card at the end his smile never left his face xD

I don't know which crew member is in charge of picking the background music, but they did an excellent job. Y'all can put Holst anywhere you want, and I'll enjoy it.

ASH-O-LEE!

"I love that the cauldron is a spooky mountain thing." Yeah, because that's where Satan pops out in Fantasia.

I would love to see a fan created one shot. Do a poll/survey to determine everything from location to mission (etc). Have those people who answer attach there current character sheet for the players to do; random draw for the selection process. I'd love to see Matt do Japer Beau's voice. The winners could get the mini's used in battle.

I love villainous. Bought on a whim last year for my family for xmas, and we've been addicted ever since, owning each xpac including the Marvel one which adds new mechanics, gameplay, and meta. 10/10 would recommend

I'm a simple man, I see Ashley on a video and I click Like

You cannot be target by fate action if you have the fate token only in a 5-6 player game.

Gotta love the Holst in the background. Venus, I believe.

Kind of refreshing to know that Ashley's lack of retention of rules extends past D&D. 😁

These table shenanigans bring me so much joy. 💖✨I love these fucking nerds.

I've played villainous since it was released and I own both expansions and it is by far one of my favorite board games

Male-efficient

I would love to see more of this game! You guys should make a series out of this one!

Here's the lyrics to a song that sounds like it would be from a classic Disney movie guess the franchise it's based on ★ Verse 1 ★ These machines are singing With the blaring and the bleeping 'Neath the arcade lights Saccharine cacophany That masks the living battery It hides its cries Children never listen When they're told it's rude to stare Always causing problems 'Til you stuff them in a bear Now they see the world Through rotting cold unblinking eyes ★ Verse 2 ★ Made to entertain, automaton animatronics Made from my design Flawless execution and an elegant solution To a perfect crime Children never listen Parasitic like a pox Always causing problems 'Til you stuff them in a fox Outrageous and audacious To think there's a child inside! ★ Chorus ★ Cut them down to forge forever We'll ignite with lifelines severed In potential lies endless life awoken Damn them to their final verdict Give their life to the deserving Let their remnants cry I remain unbroken! ★ Verse 3 ★ Believe everything you hear from me The sweet nothings behind my golden smile Tales of pets and toys that'll get returned If they just follow and be good a while Children never listen Should be seen and never heard Always crying out Until you stuff them in a bird Through lies I get new life All for the low price of a child! ★ Chorus ★ Cut them down to forge forever We'll ignite with lifelines severed In potential lies endless life awoken Damn them to their final verdict Give their life to the deserving Let their remnants cry I remain unbroken! ★ Bridge ★ The sweetness of life eternal Taken from the undeserving While they cry in fates infernal I feed on the ghost in the machine It's so clear to me In my immortality That an (Villain's sir name)'s name shall be forever! ★ Chorus ★ Cut them down to forge forever We'll ignite with lifelines severed In potential lies endless life awoken Damn them to their final verdict Give their life to the deserving Let their remnants cry This perfection, my design For an (Villain's sir name), for all time Will remain unbroken!

at around 26:17 Ashley plays dragon form but doesn't pay the cost for it until later, but she was supposed to take 3 power at the beginning of her turn, so she basically could have played another card, but didn't because she forgot to take power

When he started singing "ill be in your heart" first thing my head was Clayton as a new villain. i wanna see it happen, the tarzan movie was awesome!

For people learning the game at 13:25 The card Whisper says "Choose a card from your FATE discard pile" not your deck discard pile .So he couldn't grab and replay Long Live The King on that turn. Also the location he is at regardless only allows 2 actions. Both of the previous cards were actions so the second Long Live the King could not have been played even if Whisper allowed it. Meaning Tal shouldn't have been able to get Mufasa from the Fate deck that turn. It's their first time so its whatever but make sure to read the cards carefully to avoid accidents like this. I've been playing this game with friends and family since last week and it's awesome definitely recommend giving it a try!

After all this time, three way Rock, Paper, Scissors is still the standard to go by.

Expansions I would like to see in Villainous: Gaston Cruella De Vil Gothel Shan Yu Clayton Frollo Evil Stepmother
