Grifters

Players build and manage a criminal organization in a dystopian city, recruiting specialist operatives and directing them to pull jobs, sabotage rivals, and steal funds from government and corporations. The game uses a hand-building mechanic: all specialist cards are either in hand or in play rather than shuffled into a deck, and players play individuals or teams to trigger abilities and complete jobs. A cooldown track (night phases and a refresh area) controls card reuse, and end-game scoring rewards repeated hits against the same targets. Play continues until the money coffers, available jobs, or recruitable specialists are exhausted; the player with the most money wins.

Light game that felt like there were no meaningful decisions until it was too late. Once it started to feel that way, the game ended.

Varias partidas en Juégame Store. Un juego poco conocido que sorprendió gratamente a todos los que lo probamos. Tienes unos objetivos en el centro de la mesa, que te dan puntos para el final de la partida y algunas ventajas inmediatas, que para conseguir necesitas jugar un número de cartas determinado de ciertos colores. Las cartas que vas jugando, las recuperas unos turnos después. Cada carta tiene unas habilidades y se pueden llegar a hacer combos bastante interesantes. Las partidas no son largas y apetece volver a jugar. Lo malo es que está en inglés y cada carta tiene texto... una lástima.
