Talisman: Batman – Super-Villains Edition
allows players to take on the role of Gotham City’s notorious
evil-doers, sneaking and fighting their way through Arkham Asylum’s two
floors and central tower to be the first to subdue Batman and
successfully release its dangerous inmates.
The anti-heroic objective in this take on the classic Talisman
fantasy tabletop game focuses on building the health, strength, and
cunning of the Caped Crusader’s enemies. Players must compete with one
another, while fending off heroes, including Batman himself who moves
around the board as an NPC. The player who can overcome these challenges
and shut down the Arkham Asylum security system will free all of the
inmates earning the reputation needed to be King or Queen of the
criminal underworld of Gotham City. The game features artwork from DC’s
“New 52” era, custom board art and includes thirteen plastic character
figures, more than one hundred encounter cards, six-sided dice, and stat
boards to monitor each character.
