In Star Wars Villainous: Power of the Dark Side, each player takes control of one of five Star Wars characters: Darth Vader, Asajj Ventress, Kylo Ren, Moff Gideon, or General Grievous. Each player has their own villain deck, fate deck, player board, and 3D character.
On a turn, the active player moves their character to a different location on their player board, takes one or more of the actions visible on that space (often by playing cards from their hand), then refills their hand to four cards. Cards are allies, items, effects, and other things. You need to use your cards to fulfill your unique win condition.
One of the actions allows you to choose another player, draw two cards from that player's fate deck, then play one of them on that player's board, covering two of the four action spaces on one of that player's locations. The fate deck contains heroes, items, and effects from that villain's storyline, and these cards allow other players to mess with that particular villain.
Depending on their villain's unique power, players can also use their villain's "ambition" to perform actions that power effects based on the villain's use of the Force, strategic leadership, or sheer luck. The game also incorporates villain-specific missions and rules for iconic ships and transports from all corners of the Star Wars galaxy.

The Dark Side is powerful!
Compelling and fun, Star Wars Villainous continues the tried and tested Villainous formula of each player playing through the villain's story to win. Found it odd, however, that Ventress and Moff Gideon would have a place here, rather than Jabba the Hutt or Darth Maul, who feel like bigger characters. But definitely no complaints!

This is the best villainous game IMO. Really enjoy this super thematic game.

We love being Sith
We really enjoy this Villianous! Some characters are easier than others, but that is good when playing with our kids. The cards and screen grabs are fun to compare to the movies and shows. The choice to do “space speckled†movers was poor, but it’s another conversation about how bad Darth Vader and Grievous look and what was the company thinking?!? Even though Star Wars has a different set of power and new ambition tokens, we have combined it with play with Disney villains and have enjoyed it and found play to be smooth as there are still separate fate decks fir each villian.

Like movies, stop with the sequels
We've played about 10 times now, and it's ok. The Mouse is definitely milking the franchise. The gameplay is the worst out of the three Villainous brands, but it could be ok once every couple of months when you need to play something different. The characters don't seem well thought out with ambition/credits. There are some fate cards that can completely ruin a person's game. Vehicles seemed fun, but are very wonky, hard to get rid of and can limit hand sizes way too early. With trying to shorten the length of the games, they cut out too many things that make Villainous fun. Having only five villains was a let down too. It gets a resounding meh
