About the game
The Sanitarium: The Foyer expansion includes a revised rulebook for Sanitarium--which completely replaces the original rulebook, a Foyer starting location, four double-sided Character cards, and revised scenarios (which also completely replace the originals). The Solo Scenario was unintentionally omitted from the revised scenario cards, but a printable PDF may be found at the Asmadi website at http://asmadigames.com/files/sanitarium_solo.pdf

Questions and answers
Sanitarium: The Foyer supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Sanitarium: The Foyer is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Sanitarium: The Foyer for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Sanitarium: The Foyer belongs to these categories: Card Game, Horror, and Exploration. Its main mechanics are Area Movement, Modular Board, and Cooperative Game. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Sanitarium: The Foyer are: Aaron Belmer. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Sanitarium: The Foyer as an expansion for Sanitarium. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Sanitarium to use it. Check that your edition of Sanitarium is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
