Side Scheme

Side scheme is an encounter card type that represents additional obstacles and distractions the heroes are confronted with.

If a side scheme is revealed, it enters play and is placed next to the main scheme deck in the villain’s play area.

• Each side scheme enters play with an amount of threat on it equal to the card’s starting threat value (indicated at the bottom of the card).

• A side scheme remains in play until there is no threat on it (which causes it to be defeated and discarded), or until a card ability removes it from play. (Threat can be removed from side schemes by using the thwart power of heroes and allies, or by using card abilities.)
