About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for anarchy in Gotham! This expansion for Batman: Gotham City Chronicles introduces Lonnie Machin, Anarky, a gifted teenager who misguidedly believes he's the Joker's son and uses his inventions to spread chaos and challenge authority. If you're into the DC universe and enjoy games with miniatures and a good tactical challenge, Anarky brings a new threat to your collection.
With Anarky on the scene, expect more action and twists. The expansion adds the villain to the mix, allowing him to be controlled by a player or as a game-controlled antagonist, depending on the scenario. The Action Points and Action Queue mechanics ensure every move is calculated, while Area Movement keeps the board dynamics flowing. The experience is team-based, so prepare to coordinate your strategies or face Anarky's intellect.
Anarky is another piece to expand your Gotham City Chronicles experience, bringing the character's chaotic energy to the table. It's the kind of addition that fans of the series will love for more villain options and challenges. The complexity remains within the expected range for those already playing the series, adding layers without making the game inaccessible. If you want another reason to return to Gotham, Anarky is the answer.
