Thanks to Victor Zsasz and Clayface, the worst of the worst are free from their cages. The facility is locked down, but the riot is full-blown. A handful of guards man- aged to survive the onslaught and are hiding out as best as they can. But… I don’t think they’ve got much st time. If you can get in there and find them, they should be able to lend a hand. My men are on their way, 1 but they won’t be able to contain this threat without you. Please hurry; we cannot let these freaks claim more innocent lives. 3rd 2nd 2nd 3rd 1st END-GAME CONDITIONS at the end of hero Turn 6, the game ends - the current step is *Check End-game Conditions 1 of turn 6 the heroes have taken control of the asylum - 1 reinforcement token *remains on the board 6 VICTORY CONDITIONS HEROES: the heroes have taken control of the asylum - 1 rein- *forcement token remains on the board VILLAIN: the asylum is in the hands of its patients - 2 or more *reinforcement tokens remain on the board 4 BGCC_ArkhamAsylum_booklet_EN.indb 4 24/01/2019 12:13:53 3 st 8 3 1 HERO 5 BATMAN BATMAN X4 MINIATURES X3 MINIATURES X1 MINIATURES X4 MINIATURES 2nd HERO MONTOYA X3 MINIATURES X1 MINIATURES X4 MINIATURES SERVICE GUN, TONFA BULLOCK 1 0 REINFORCEMENT POINT + GROUP DELIRIUM: SECTOR: a sector is a set of areas highlighted on the the heroes choose an area and immediately setup diagram.

Though many residents st of the asylum probably deserve much worse, not all of them are evil criminal masterminds. You must find 1 the documents that outline the substance’s creation.
