Based on the classic animated series episode Almost Got ‘Im, the game is a mix of Werewolf and poker. In the episode, the villains of Gotham City have come together for a night of poker, and they pass the time boasting about how they almost defeated Batman.  What the villains don’t know is that Batman is hiding in their midst.

In the game, each villain has a special power, and one player is actually Batman in disguise. Players must craft poker hands to activate their special abilities when the lights go out.  Players can request poker cards from other players, and often can see what cards their rivals are taking.  Each round after the first, players take turns accusing someone of being Batman, and if it’s seconded it goes to a vote. The goal is to unmask the Caped Crusader, unless the player is Batman, then the goal is to avoid detection.

The game is for 5 – 8 players, ages 15 and up. MSRP is $20.00.
