You never really had any big supervillain ambitions. No, that's not your thing. You're just an honest contractor trying to make ends meet, just without scruples and not overly concerned about safety measures or working conditions. You are very proud that you always lead the way, literally, without questions. Just enjoy the excitement of the moment and the luxury of not having to make plans for more than a few hours. What's so terribly wrong with that?
Goons is a strategy board game for 2-4 players that combines character development, action selection and gambling mechanics in a very special way. In Goons, players will try out a new exciting career as henchmen! They throw themselves into the heat of the fire and participate in various crazy plans of villains. The goal is to make as much money as possible, get the coolest gear, and gain respect for the local villains. Maybe one day you will finally be the one calling the shots!?
On players' turns, they choose their actions using an action selection system that allows them to draw action tiles from a continuous scoring grid and combine them with another action by covering spaces on their board. Actions include going to the gym to boost your energy, buying new gear, making a little extra money as a dishwasher, and mixing things up at the nightclub.
But most importantly, players commit to various daring villain plans by placing energy markers on them to increase the chances of success and reward. Each villain in the game has a unique theme and scoring mechanic, so players will have to carefully consider which ones to support.
The goon with the most victory points at the end of the game wins!
