It's nice when playing a new game is considered research!<br /><br />I think having more than one bad guy in the base game would be a grand idea. Good point and I think it would definitely make for a better game.

By providing different villains, you can add more variety to the 'bad guy' side - PLUS open an avenue of Villain/Hero Expansions.<br />The Mayflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291942599248504928noreply@blogger.com
