Batman: Gotham City Chronicles – 5th Player Expansion

About this expansion

Batman: Gotham City Chronicles – 5th Player Expansion is an expansion for 2–5 players with an approximately 90-minute play time, adding 4-vs-1 Adventure mode missions for a five-player Bat-team.

Set in the world of James Tynion IV’s Detective Comics series, the expansion brings together a new team led by Batwoman. Stephanie Brown, Cassandra Cain, Tim Drake, and Basil Karlo contribute their skills and talents as the heroes confront threats across Gotham City.

The expansion includes three missions that place the team directly into the comic timeline:

• Mission 1: Face the Court of Owls and Cassandra’s father as they prepare to awaken an army of Talons.
• Mission 2: Guard Gotham’s economic backbone against the plans of the head of the Demon and Deathstroke.
• Mission 3: Confront the St. Dumas Order, its Azrael assassins, and the artificial intelligence Ascalon.

Five-player Adventure mode also strengthens the Evil Masterminds side. Villains receive a larger reinforcement point pool and an increased Energy Cube turn recovery amount, giving them a stronger foundation for facing four heroes and carrying out their plans.

Setup becomes especially important for the villain player, who must ensure that their backup is capable of meeting the heroes’ strength. These considerations also apply when creating missions with Mission Maker. A Clayface hero screen rounds out the expansion, while its dedicated team and three scenarios expand the mission roster for future five-player games.

With its comic-inspired setting, focused scenario lineup, and support for a fifth player, Batman: Gotham City Chronicles – 5th Player Expansion gives larger groups a new way to take justice to Gotham’s lawbreakers.
