Misunderstood Minions

A Game for the Unsung (and Underpaid)​Villainous Workforce

Clock in, follow orders (or don’t), and try not to get obliterated—just another day in the life of a Misunderstood Minion.

In this fast, funny, and chaotic mini RPG, you and your fellow minions serve a brilliant but not-so-great-at-winning villain. The heroes are always meddling, and for some reason, your boss keeps hiring people who might not be the best for the job (like you). Your task? Carry out their latest evil scheme—but whether you stick to the plan or find your own way to victory is entirely up to you.

Will you follow orders to the letter or bend the rules for your own gain? Either way, someone is getting the blame.

This game is quick to learn, hilarious to play. Designed for one-shots or short campaigns, so you can dive right in without a rulebook marathon. With endless replayability. Every villain, every mission, and every team of questionable minions makes for a totally new experience. It is perfect for beginners and chaos-loving veterans. Whether it's your first RPG or your hundredth, you'll find something to love.
