Who it's for

Ideal for groups who enjoy social deduction and reading opponents' patterns in a light, quick-playing package.

Not for you if…

Skip it if you dislike bluffing games that hinge on reading people β€” Pinched! lives and dies on social deduction rather than fixed strategy.

🦊

Vibe's take

Playful and sneaky: the bluff-and-guess core keeps the table buzzing, with every heist a small showdown between the Mastermind's misdirection and everyone else's hunches.

About this game

Pinched! casts you as a gentleman burglar redistributing the wealth of the rich, one heist at a time. Each round one player becomes the Mastermind, secretly plotting where to strike, while the others try to guess the location and swoop in to steal a share. Whoever pinches the most valuables wins.
