About the game
A simple, old-school roll-n-move (or, rather, spin-n-move) game. The first player to reach their destination card location and return to the Batcave wins. There was an even simpler "play in the dark" variant of the game played without cards, with the glow-in-the-dark outlines on the board for movement.
