Smoking Gun is the winner of the 2015 BGG Microgame Design Contest!
Smoking Gun, a noir tale of crimes, secrets, and investigations. Players take on the role of detectives, piecing together a central case in which their reputations (and even their lives) are at stake. In the end, only one detective will crack the case and become the hero... but at what cost?
This microgame consists of only 18 cards (plus player references), 12 of which are used in a given game. Players can enjoy one game, lasting 5-10 minutes, or a series of games, using the included "The Long Night" mode.
A complete Print & Play file (3 pages of cards, black and white, double-sided), including rules, is available.
