BATMAN
INTRODUCTION
Card game for 2 players.
One Player is Batman, the other is the Nemesis player
THE DECKS
The Batman player uses the Batman Deck.
The Nemesis player has 3 decks:
The Villains Deck
The Location Deck
The Action Deck
OBJECT
The first player to accumulate 10 Victory points wins.
TURN SEQUENCE
Each turn consists of 5 phases:
Draw Phase
Crime Phase
Hunt Phase
Confrontation Phase
Victory Phase
DRAW PHASE
Players first discard down to 3 cards.
Both players fill their hands to 7 cards from their own decks.
The Nemesis player must draw 1 Villain card and 1 Location card, the remainder may
be from the Action deck.
If a players deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.
CRIME PHASE
The Nemesis player plays one Villain card to the table face up and
one Location card face down.
HUNT PHASE
The Batman player must guess the Location card (there are 5).
If he is wrong, he may discard a clue card to guess again.
If he cannot guess it, the Nemesis player gains the advantage.
If he does guess it, Batman gains the "Advantage" (+15).
CONFRONTATION PHASE
All cards with a number value are called Force cards.
Both players play all their force cards to the table simultaneously.
The Batman player can only play:
one ‘Batman’ one ‘Robin’ one 'Bat Girl' and one ‘Bat Vehicle’ card.
When certain cards are played, this causes other specific opposing cards to be discarded.
For example: If the Batman player plays antidote, or gas mask, this causes
all gas cards and poison cards to be discarded.
Each player adds up his cards numbers to get his Force Total.
The side with the Advantage gets +15 to his Force Total.
Compare totals. The higher total wins. Flip a coin to resolve ties.
VICTORY PHASE
The winner of the confrontation gets a victory point (VP).
If the Nemesis won and he had a crime card out, he gains 2 more VP.
If Batman wins by more than double the Force, or he
wins and then plays a capture card, he gains 2 more VP.
If the Nemesis negates the capture card, Batman may play another.
Discard all played cards.
