I was just playing this yesterday. And a good time was had by all.
I won one hand by having the guy carrying his vintage Dr. Who reel drop it when he was attacked by bears. Discuss
Ok crew we're entering the home stretch. The campaign ends Friday evening so if you've been holding out, or you know someone who is on the fence: now is the time to convince them.
We had a productive weekend and shot some great video! We're ready to announce a brand new gameplay variant:
Black Bag Job
In spy and thief circles, the "black bag" is a catch-all term for the toolkit a thief might take into a job. We've taken the concept of planning for your heist and incorporated it into Larceny.
In the Black Bag mode, the Chief outlines a heist as usual with one Score and two Catches. The Crew then draws 10 cards and discards down to 7, building their toolkit for the heist. The Crew then plans out a heist using 2-5 cards, similar to the Best Laid Plan variant. Their goal is to convince the Chief that their plan is the best.
Troubleshooters Mode
Troubleshooters is what we call a team vs team variant of Larceny. In this mode, the Crew takes on the role of security troubleshooters, proposing ways to protect and to steal the same Score. One team plays from a hand of Catch cards, while the other plays from a hand of Fix cards. Both sides draw one hand of cards and play until one team has either protected or stolen the Score four times. Neither team draws new cards during the round. Each team plays the card that they would use to either protect or steal the Score, taking the Score itself into consideration. You might protect a bottle of wine differently than you would a rare stamp, or a pile of gold, and likewise your tactics to steal a flash drive would differ from how you might steal a vintage car. Cards are played face down and it's up to the Chief to make the call as to which is more effective.
Larceny is a fast paced party game where you and your friends plan one heist after another. Each round a different player is the Chief and decides which solution is best to overcome the inevitable catch in your perfect plan.
