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.

There is a lot of crime in this two-bit game box, but of all the expansions in all of board gaming we had to give this one a try. I had cut my teeth working the beat in London and Maine and I thought that my past as a golden gumshoe had toughened me up for the job that lay ahead, but L.A. left me as broken as an incomplete metaphor. By the time the city of angels was through with me, failure clung to me like cheap perfume on a hot night. And though it won’t be said that my performance was worthy of commendation, she and I had a lot of fun just the same. But that’s off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush.

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.
