About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to defend Gotham City in Batman: The Animated Series – Gotham City Under Siege! The city's most infamous villains are back with a vengeance, and only Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Commissioner Gordon, and the Gotham City Police Department (with an unexpected assist from Catwoman!) can prevent total destruction. This is a cooperative game for 1 to 5 players, where each person takes on the role of a powerful hero and must work together to protect the city across four acts, each inspired by episodes from the show's first season. The mission is clear: maintain the balance between completing challenging story cards and taking down the villains and their henchmen running rampant in the streets. Dice rolls can be your ally or your biggest foe, and managing your hand of cards effectively is crucial for using the heroes' special abilities at the right time. Movement across the board follows defined paths, leading you straight into the heart of the action. Each hero has their unique powers, so communication and group strategy are key to victory. If you're a fan of the classic animated series and enjoy cooperative games with a good dose of strategy and a touch of luck, this Gotham adventure is for you!
