Villainous choice is a punisher mechanic introduced in the Universes Beyond set Doctor Who.
Description
Villainous choice targets the player's opponents. They are presented with a choice of two effects which are both detrimental.[1][2] It is a punisher mechanic, but with targeting it has greater multiplayer appeal with negotiation.
