For 2 To 4 Players, From Age 12 To
Adult.
Batman is a confused and slightly boring board game that has the potential
to run as long as a short game of monopoly.
The point of the
game is to be the first player to reach your base, pick up a destination
card, go the the destination shown on the card and then return to your
base. Doesn't sound much fun does it? The problem with the game is that
the players start in the central part of the board and have to get to
one of the edge parts and back. But to enter and exit the edge part the
player has to use a vehicle card from the point indicated on the board.
Now this is where the fun stops and the boredom starts as the vehicle
cards are randomly dispersed in the deck and you can only take a card
from the deck when you land on the Batman logo. So you end up just
trying to land on these spaces to get the card you want so that you can
move on.
If you land on a Joker space then the players have to fight each other.
This is done by rolling a higher number than your opponent. The one who
roles highest moves that number of spaces (you could also use a battle
card if you have one to try and sway the battle in your favor). Not
exactly edge of the seat stuff, is it?
All in all it is poorly thought out game with too little interaction
between players and too much waiting for the right card or space. The box
it comes in is nicely designed though.
