Two crime bosses draft dice and outthink each other for control of a noir city.
Who it's for
Two players who enjoy tight, confrontational duels with a noir crime theme and real psychological pressure.
Not for you if…
You're playing with more than two people, or you dislike games where reading your opponent matters as much as the dice.
Vibe's take
Tense and cat-and-mouse: every dice draft is a small mind game about what your rival is planning, and the district majorities can flip in the final round.
With a Smile & a Gun pits two rival gang leaders against each other for control of a Prohibition-era city. Each round, thirteen dice are rolled into a shared pool, and players draft two at a time: one to move their influence across the city, one to trigger an action, while trying to stay under their opponent's radar.
