You must be logged in to post a review.
Noir is an expansion authored by Stephane Anquetil, a very talented writer with credentials including Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective scenarios as well as Escape Books and Box (404 éditions).
In Noir, the whole group is collectively representing one private detective with unconventional methods.
Instead of Forensic Contacts, players have 4 action cards they can use at any point and any moment:
Spy
Break-In
Bribe
Intimidate
You won’t be able to intimidate everyone without repercussions.
Also, your money is in a shortage, so you can’t bribe everyone you meet.
Noir really brings another side to crime busting!
This Expansion requires the base game (London) to be played. It also requires an app to work (it’s impossible to play without it), but once downloaded no Internet connexion is needed to play. You currently need Android 4.4 or newer, or iOS 8.0 or newer to run the app, which may change in the future.

Cardboard Conundrum
Really enjoy the setting of this game, the simple changes to the artwork and the introduction of only 4 new mechanisms feel incredibly evocative of the theme. Really enjoy the new mechanisms to try and pry information out of suspects - adds a new dimension of deduction and second-guessing whether a bribe or a bit of rough-housing will make your suspect open up! Had a great time so far and looking forward to playing the remaining scenarios in this series.

APunktX
Like the additions of different approaches to talk/interact and their consequences. Felt quite different compared to the basic game, since you're no longer a cop but rather a detective (cant visit a crime scene directly for example). Curious for the next cases :)
