DC Deck-Building Game: Arkham Asylum

About this board game

DC Deck-Building Game: Arkham Asylum is a 2–4-player deck-building game with an approximately 90-minute play time, released in 2025. It opens the gates of Arkham Asylum and places players in the roles of some of Gotham City’s most notorious criminals.

Step into the shoes of mad inmates including The Joker, Harley Quinn, The Riddler, and Two-Face. Rather than fighting alongside Batman, you compete to take down Batman and his allies while pursuing your own rise through Gotham’s criminal underworld.

Arkham Asylum brings several distinctive elements to the DC Deck-Building Game series. During play, you will:

• Take Hostages as you advance your criminal schemes.
• Earn victory point tokens to strengthen your path to victory.
• Use Bribe to compete for the top of Gotham City’s criminal underworld.

The game combines the familiar identity of the DC Deck-Building Game series with a setting focused on its most dangerous inmates. Every session puts the spotlight on villainous ambition, as players compete against one another while targeting Batman and his allies.

DC Deck-Building Game: Arkham Asylum is also compatible with all Cerberus Heroes games, making it part of a broader game system. For players looking for a competitive DC experience built around Arkham’s mad inmates, Hostages, victory point tokens, and Bribe, this release unlocks a new gate into Gotham’s criminal world.
