A detective euro set in 1938 New York where you draft a die each turn to choose an action, chasing evidence and hints while hidden information keeps the conspiracy murky.

Who it's for

Players who want a medium-light euro with a noir mood and some guessing about their rivals.

Not for you if…

You want a true deduction mystery – the crime here is a scoring frame, not a puzzle to crack.

Vibe's take

Snappy and suspicious – the die pool forces quick priorities while hidden clues keep you guessing what everyone else already knows.
