You're a villain, but not very good at it - Take on the role of a B-list villain who didn't quite make the cut! In an attempt to capture at least a little bit of infamy, you're racing other not-so-super villains to publish a book about your misdeeds. Travel around the city hiring dastardly henchman, building outrageous gadgets, and committing pranks and petty crimes. Then write it all down for your (hopefully) best-selling novel! In Book of Villainy, you move around various locations in rondel fashion, collecting sets of henchman to complete chapters for your book. You score points by collecting chapters with certain themes and arranging the chapters of your book in ascending order. Once any player completes their book, the game ends. -description from the publisher
