Scheme (Enemy Activation)

A scheme is a type of enemy activation. If an enemy is instructed to scheme, follow these steps:

  1. If a villain, or a minion with the villainous keyword, is scheming, give it one facedown boost card from the encounter deck. (If a minion without the villainous keyword is scheming, skip this step.)

  2. Resolve each of the scheming enemy’s boost cards, one at a time and in the order in which they were dealt, by doing the following:

    • Flip the boost card faceup.
    • Resolve any “Boost” abilities, indicated by the star icon in the boost area. (All other abilities on the boost card are ignored.)
    • Increase the scheming enemy’s SCH value by one for each boost icon on the card.
    • Discard the boost card.
    • If the enemy has any boost cards remaining, repeat these steps with the next boost card.

  3. Place threat on the main scheme equal to the scheming enemy’s modified SCH value.
