Who it's for

Fans of hidden-information euros who enjoy reading opponents and want a historical theme with real narrative texture.

Not for you if…

You dislike simultaneous reveal mechanics β€” a misjudged placement can waste an entire round's investment.

🦊

Vibe's take

Tense and cerebral β€” hidden placement means every round is a bluff-and-read contest before the big reveal decides who scored.

About this game

Pulitzer puts you at the helm of a team of investigative journalists in early-1970s America, chasing the story that could win the Pulitzer Prize itself β€” Vietnam, the Pentagon Papers, Watergate all loom in the background. Over eight rounds you hide your journalists across a shifting newsroom board, balancing daily assignments against your paper's prestige and sales. Hidden placement and a personal investigation track make every round a careful bet on what your rivals are chasing too.
