Dredd to Thieftakers Volume 2- VICTORIANS
Playing the game
All round the table for the big game. We had four teams playing four constables on a mission to solve as many crimes as possible while I ran around the table handing out cards and explaining the rules.
I used some bobbies from West wind as playing pieces
Some teams had more luck ir tactical know how than others but the joy of the game was seeing historical characters they knew about popping ip and getting up to odd crimes. One player found I'd used their image fir a couple of characters who just do happened to be committing sexualy deviant crimes such as bestiality. "Why is it always me"
This time the cards fit the sections of the board. We had a number of funny moments such as policeman mounting a penny farthing to push to a crime only to slip in an open sewer while trying to apprehend a prostitute. Players kept avoiding the serious crimes hoping to get quantity over quality. This had murders being ignored in order to catch minor offenders.
The smiling group lost but were happy for playing an escape card which meant the highest scoring criminal in their rivals pile went free robbing them of victory. They weren't happy
Thanks to the other teams back stabbing thus was the winning group. Much fun was had by all. Its made me think about another game in the future where you play a criminal avoiding the law. Nor sure how that would work kaybexa Chang of this system where you go on criminal jobs and the most heists win
