Batman's rogues race each other out of Arkham: you pick five villains, split four of them into two duos, and whoever wins the second race takes the whole game.
Who it's for
DC fans and groups who want a quick, punchy race with plenty of character-driven combos.
Not for you if…
You want deep strategy or dislike a structure where the earlier race counts for less than the last one.
Vibe's take
Fast and loud – the villain pairings do the heavy lifting, and the winner-takes-all second race keeps everyone leaning over the table until the end.
