Hot Lead
Lead an undercover investigation against five criminal groups, gathering evidence to secure convictions. Each round, players secretly bid with investigator cards to claim criminal cards from a display, with higher bids taking cards closer to the deck. Collecting exactly three cards of a suit earns a bonus, while taking a fourth sends that group underground and removes all its cards. Additional points are awarded for collecting all five suits, and the highest score after ten rounds wins.

5.9/10
from 1 Ludoya review
Kush5.9 Much like the other 2 games from this Knizia Criminal Caper trilogy in terms of simplicity, weight, fun-factor. This push-your-luck with slight bidding element is fun while it lasts (which is not too long) but won't rock your world.
