Monopoly: Batman (2005)

About this game

Once again, villains lurk in the shadows of Gotham City. But darkness is on your side. The Dark Knight can surely bring rule to an unruly world. Can you? From Crime Alley to The Penguin's Iceberg Lounge to the Batcave, now you can buy, sell and trade Gotham City’s most coveted real estate and take control of the city. Defeat the enemies by taking control of their hangouts and become the ultimate crime fighter as you vie to own it all in this special edition of the world’s most famous board game, Monopoly. All components are customized to honor the “Guardian of Gotham City”. It’s time to bring justice to those who harm the innocent.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
