Narcos: The Board Game

Players assume asymmetric roles in a 1980s Colombian drug-war narrative: one player runs a secretive narcotics empire while the others lead competing Hunter factions seeking to capture that kingpin. The dealer expands operations, moves covertly and pursues hidden objectives while keeping their location secret on the map. Hunter players gather intelligence, share information, negotiate and coordinate actions across law enforcement and rival groups to locate and apprehend the target. Play resolves through hidden movement, resource management and tactical interaction; the hidden player's success depends on evasion and completing objectives, while Hunters win by uncovering and capturing the target.

Kind of a hidden movement game with some distinct elements. PROS - The different sides feel VERY asymmetric, and the experience is pretty thematic overall. - The game flow is easy to understand and play, even it it needs an explanation that is way longer than it should be (see Cons). CONS - It is more cumbersome to teach and learn than it should be, due to a lot of components and little mechanics. - At least in the first games, the game seems way easier for the Patrón than for the allied players trying to get him.
