Polizei-Alarm!

Crack safes with dice while your opponent tilts the whole board to slide a police car after you.

One side plays safecrackers rolling dice against the clock to hit the right combinations. The other side plays the police, tilting the entire board so a magnetic car slides through the city streets toward the hideout. Two completely different jobs happening at the same time.

Who it's for

Families with kids around six to ten who like physical toys, and anyone who enjoys asymmetric games where the two sides do different things.

Not for you if…

You want tactical depth or fairness in the strict sense, since the roles are unequal and luck decides plenty. The board tilting also needs table space, and the game is long out of print.

Vibe's take

Noisy and split-screen: two people doing unrelated frantic things three feet apart. Enormously fun to watch, even when it is not your turn.
