From Mok Taskmaster

I never get to listen ‘live’ but always make sure to listen as soon as the podcast is released in the wild. Keep up the excellent work guys!

I have some clarifications (as I know them) for the new Batman: Gotham City Chronicles Kickstarter. The game is closely based on the last Conan Board Game, which Monolith also Kickstarted back in 2015, and I think I received mine last July.

It is a One Versus Many style game, where there is an Overlord type player who controls all the ‘bad guys’ and then the other players, 1 or more, control the Heroes and try to win scenarios.

There is an ‘optional buy’ to add on the Versus mode at $35, which turns the game into a 1v1 Skirmish style game, but evidently you MUST have that add-on in order to play the game in that style.

It has me very tempted. Being a truly Kickstarter Exclusive means it will never see retail so buy now, or spend a fortune on the secondary market like eBay. Their reasoning is pretty sound as to ‘why’ only on Kickstarter, based on their last game having to sell at a loss to distributors to get it to the retailers at near the same price-point that people would be willing to buy once on store shelves.
