This deck is inspired by the film "The Dark Knight". The aim of the game is to pull of the perfect bank robbery, coming out alive and with as much money as you can.

Special Rules

Starting the Game

At the start of the game, put all the character cards in a pile in the middle. Everybody takes a character card, and then places that card in front of them. Each character has a goal and an action. If the character's goal is complete, that person wins. This is not the only way to win, however.

Hands

A player must have at least the number of minimum cards in their hand at the start of every turn. At the end of a players turn, they must draw cards to make up their minimum number of cards. They do not have to discard cards to go down to their minimum. The minimum starts at 5.

Dying

If your character dies, then you loose all your money, ailments, items and anything else attached to your card. Your minimum hand size also goes down by 1.

Ailments

If a card is played that is type Thing-Ailment, or Action-Ailment, place the card underneath the target. This card remains there until the ailment has run its course, or they are cured.

Things and Actions

Instead of the default 1 thing and 1 action, you may play up to 2 things and 2 actions each turn.

The Batman

If you play The Batman at any point during the game, you have swapped sides and become a force of good. If this happens, replace your character with The Batman card, and all ailments you had are removed.

Cash

At the end of your turn, what you have done equates to extra cash. This is normally shown on cards, however, bonus money is up fro grabs by doing the following: $30 - Kill off an enemy character $60 - Kill off The Batman $60 - Kill off The Joker
