Read the full game description
Batman: The Animated Series – Gotham City Under Siege is a cooperative dice-assignment game inspired by the first season of the landmark show. One to five players control Batman, Batgirl, Robin, Catwoman, or Commissioner Gordon, each with a personal board, asymmetric abilities, and a distinct set of skill cards. Every act builds a new storyline below Gotham’s skyline, placing villains, masterminds, and escalating emergencies among the city blocks. Heroes roll their dice and commit them to rooftops or streets to satisfy story-card requirements, defeat enemies, rescue citizens, and manage the Bat-Signal and explosion tracks. Not every threat can be solved at once, so the group must decide which objectives are essential and which consequences the city can withstand. Successful acts introduce harder setup cards and more dangerous combinations. The heroes win together only by reaching the end of the fourth crisis phase with Gotham still standing.
