Batman: Gotham City Chronicles – Gotham City in Flames is an expansion for Batman: Gotham City Chronicles released in 2023 for 2–4 players, 60–90 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Player Elimination, and Area Movement.
The city’s Heroes set out in search of those working in the shadows, venturing deep into a burning Gotham City. Heroes from this expansion (and from the Core Game) will hit the streets in search of whoever is incinerating criminal organizations for their own personal gain. However, the enigma will remain unsolved as several miniatures will be placed in Mystery Boxes and only revealed in the final adventure of the campaign, which will offer several possible endings. This campaign features a multitude of branches and a different storyline based on three variables: victories, defeats, and the Heroes’ choices. It also features optional scenarios using board maps from season 1 and 2 expansions. A progression system will enable each side to become stronger as they progress through the scenarios. Additionally, victory points will be won through the achievements of both teams, as well as by successful feats inherent to each adventure, rewarding the heroism of certain players and the deviousness of others. —description from the publisher
