Batman: Gotham City Crimes^*

In Batman: Gotham City Crimes, two to four players team up to hunt supervillains. A cooperative detective adventure from KOSMOS for comic fans and families.

What is it about?

You play Batman, Batgirl, Batwoman and Nightwing. Together you search buildings, gather clues and track down villains. Along the way, a story unfolds piece by piece and drives the game forward. It was designed by Michael Menzel, is rated for ages 12 and up, and runs about 60 minutes.

What makes it tick

• Fully cooperative: you win or lose as a team
• An open board that lets you move freely around the city
• A narrative that grows with every discovery
• A quick-start guide so new players can begin right away

How a game plays

1. Read the quick-start guide and set up.
2. Spread out across the city and search buildings.
3. Share findings, piece clues together and corner the villain.

Talking to each other matters most. The heroes often have to act at the same time in different districts to stop a threat.

Who is it for?

Families with older kids, comic fans and groups that would rather work together than compete. The quick-start guide keeps the entry barrier low.

Conclusion

Michael Menzel proved with Legends of Andor that he can do story-driven co-op games. Gotham City Crimes brings that approach to Batman's world. If you like detective work as a team, it is a strong pick. If you prefer competition or solo decisions, look elsewhere.
