About the game
Now we are the owners of Blackgate and no one, not even Nightwing, will be able to stop us. There's a riot at Blackgate! The Super-Villains have managed to control the asylum. Nightwing will enter Blackgate to stop the riot, but they won't make it easy for him. They are fully organized and armed. Black Mask knows Arkham Asylum very well, Deadshot is unstoppable, Lady Shiva is also in Blackgate after sneaking in to talk to Black Mask, Deathstroke is in Blackgate to finish a job, and Catwoman has sneaked into Blackgate to search for clues about her past. She won't let Nightwing get her for that reason. In addition, Ratcatcher will fill Blackgate with rats to give them a nice new home, adding an extra touch of danger to the place. Use these characters to your advantage to stop Nightwing from restoring order to the prison! They have obtained merchandise from the other side and have set up a small black market to purchase what they need, introducing a deck building mechanic to the game. Includes: 37 miniatures (Nightwing, 6 super-villains, 3 followers, 27 adversaries), rulebook, 40+ cards. 25+ game tiles, 1 riot plan, 6 infamy trackers, 30+ tokens, 27 colored base rings
