Heroes VS Villains

This is a work in progress. In a few weeks I will get to play test it, and then hopefully I’ll have some photos of the game in action! I can’t wait.

Basically, I asked all of my friends to come dressed as either a hero or a villain (and purposly asked the couples to split so the game could achieve somewhat balanced numbers). The game itself is based off of the game Cranium, where there are different categories of cards with different actions on them that the player must do (like pictionary, charades, etc). I created cards for the different categories, but each card has something related to heroes and villains on it, whether it is drawing an item, sculpting it, answering trivia, or acting like a famous character.

My own personal twist is in the VIP Showdown cards, where I created little one-on-one minigames between the heroes and villains. Some of the minigames:
Costume Change: The hero and villain are timed to see who can put on the superhero costume pieces I made the fastest (there is a belt, mask, wristbands, speedo, and cape).
Bomb the City: The hero and villain throw little bomb-shaped bean bags at the cardboard skyscrapers and see who can knock down more.
Verbal Joust: A battle of insults to see who hesitates first. The challenge is that the insults must all be clean.
