Batman: The Animated Series – Gotham City Under Siege review

I recently got my hands on Batman: The Animated Series – Gotham City Under Siege and I have to say, I'm impressed. The game is a cooperative experience where you play as iconic characters from the show like Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and Catwoman. The goal is to work together to defend Gotham City from the villains who are trying to destroy it. The game is visually appealing and easy to learn, though it can be surprisingly challenging.

The game's mechanics are simple but effective. Each player takes on the role of a hero and has a unique set of abilities. You roll dice to activate those abilities and then use them to defeat villains and complete story cards. The game is divided into four acts, each of which is inspired by an episode from the first season of the show. This makes it feel like you're actually playing through the animated series, which is great for fans.

There are some minor issues that some people have raised in their reviews. A few mentioned missing or damaged components, which is unfortunate. However, it seems these are isolated incidents as most reviewers found the game to be well put together. Some also found the game to be a bit easy, but there are ways to increase the difficulty by using house rules or the Masterminds and Mayhem expansion.

Overall, I think this game is a great addition to any board game collection. It’s fun, engaging, and a perfect choice for fans of the animated series. If you're looking for a fun cooperative game to play with friends or family, I highly recommend checking out Batman: The Animated Series – Gotham City Under Siege.
