Description

In Goons, you're not out to save the world, you're just trying to make a name for yourself as a henchman, taking on daring villain schemes and coming out on top. This euro-style strategy board game is all about managing your energy, earning cash, and increasing your reputation on the streets. With a playtime of 90 to 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to get immersed in the world of Goons, where you'll draft action cubes, place them on your crib board, and take on actions like training at The Dojo, shopping for gear at The Supermarket, or hustling on the streets. As you navigate the game, you'll commit to different villain schemes, each with its own unique deck and theme, offering varying levels of risk and reward. Will you take a chance on Kid Random's schemes for a big payoff, or play it safe with The Doctor? With 2 to 4 players, the competition will be fierce, and you'll need to use all your wits to come out on top. With its normal complexity level, Goons is easy to learn for fans of board games, and its unique blend of mechanics, including area majority, betting and bluffing, and tile placement, will keep you on your toes. By the end of the three rounds, the goon with the most victory points will be declared the winner, so get ready to throw yourself into the heat of the fire and come out victorious.
