Game Noir

Become a hard-boiled private eye, navigate through the dangerous "noir" world, and find your destiny - maybe even your femme fatale! In Game Noir, players become private detectives and have to decide wisely what to do with their action points as they move along the NOIR path. Unpredictable events occur there, the detectives may encounter the femme fatale, end up in the bar for a while, or chase the suspect. They gather black and white tokens they can use to cancel effects of unfavorable events. The tokens also determine to which final path (peace, justice, revenge) a player goes. Then they roll dice and earn victory points for achieving various endings (beware, death is one of them). Being the first to achieve an ending, having an alliance with the femme fatale and/or catching the suspect gives the players bonus points. Printed components are: board (A4 or A3 format) and 80 tokens (2x A4). Rules have 4 pages. Additional components needed are: different-colored pawns (2-5 for detectives, 1 for femme fatale, 1 for a suspect, 1 spare pawn if possible) and 1-2 six-sided dice. —description from the designer
