This isn't just another board game; it's a full immersion into the dark and mysterious world of the Bat. You and your friends take on the roles of iconic investigators – like journalist Vicki Vale, detective Harvey Bullock, reporter Warren Spacey, or the cunning Catwoman – each with their own secrets and objectives. Together, you'll unravel a series of complex cases, exploring famous locations like the Batcave and Arkham Asylum, and crossing paths with classic villains. The investigation is fully cooperative, but beware: each of you might have a secret agenda that could change the game! To aid you on this journey, the game uses a clever mix of physical components, such as cards and handouts, and a dedicated website that acts as a news archive from the Gotham City Gazette, providing a super immersive experience. The comic book-style illustrations add a special touch, bringing epic moments to life. The game is divided into cases that can be played separately or in sequence, forming a grand narrative. Each case takes a good 2 to 3 hours, so set aside time to get lost in this adventure. At the end, a report will tell you how well you did. It's a feast for anyone who loves mystery, deduction, and, of course, Batman! ## FAQ ### How many players can play and how long does a game session take? The game is for 2 to 4 players, and each case can take 2 to 3 hours to complete. Since there are multiple cases, be prepared to dedicate a good amount of time! ### Do I need to be able to read English to play? Yes, the game has language dependency. The rules, cards, and website content are in English. ### Is this a difficult game to learn? It has a medium-high complexity rating (1.77/5 on BGG), but the introductory prologue helps familiarize players with the mechanics. The complexity mainly comes from the investigation and narrative aspects. ### Can I play the cases separately? Yes! Each case can be played as a standalone adventure. However, playing them in sequence reveals a larger, more epic story. ### What makes this game different from other deduction games? The strong immersion in the Batman universe, the combination of physical and digital components (the Gotham City Gazette website is awesome!), and the secret agenda mechanic that adds a layer of individual intrigue to the cooperation. ### What does it feel like to play Batman: Everybody Lies? It feels like being a detective in Gotham! You'll experience the pressure, the meticulous investigation, and the satisfaction (or frustration!) of trying to piece together the puzzle, all within Batman's unique atmosphere. ## Price Comparison ### Best Offers in Brazil - **Taverna Real**: R$ 175,49 (https://www.tavernareal.com/tabuleiro/batman-everybody-lies?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **Paladins Games**: R$ 204,51 (http://paladinsgames.com.br/produto/1671158/batman-everybody-lies?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **PlayEasy**: R$ 204,51 (https://www.playeasy.com.br/batman-everybody-lies?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **Bravo Jogos**: R$ 260,39 (https://bravojogos.com.br/jogos-de-tabuleiro-e-cardgames/jogo-batman-everybody-lies-p?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - See all on Compara Jogos: https://www.comparajogos.com.br/item/batman-everybody-lies ### Best International Offers - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 26.47 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=4422737&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 26.97 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=4806213&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 30.96 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=6831895&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 34.99 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=6047266&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 38.32 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=3856285&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 39.81 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=3855432&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 39.99 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=3856382&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 40.28 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=3863786&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 43.10 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=6719185&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 45.52 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=3690857&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - See all on BoardGamePrices: https://boardgameprices.com/item/show/41757/batman-everybody-lies?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com
