About the Game

Secret Villain is a superhero-themed social deduction and teamwork card game for 4–8 players, where heroes must work together to save the city of Neopolis... while secretly trying to discover who among them is working against them.

Each player takes on a unique Alter-Ego with special abilities and a hidden allegiance. Players may be Heroes, Villains, or even an Anti-Hero with their own unique objectives.

Throughout the game, players must cooperate to complete dangerous Missions by contributing the right combination of abilities. However, not everyone can be trusted. The Villain secretly sabotages the team's efforts while trying to avoid suspicion, forcing players to watch each other's decisions carefully.

Players can discuss, accuse, defend themselves, and vote to expose the suspected Villain. But catching the wrong person can have serious consequences, and some characters may have motivations that are not as simple as being a Hero or Villain.
