Description

Never Bring a Knife is a fast-paced social deduction card game where undercover cops and hardened criminals face off in a desperate shootout. With easy-to-learn rules, 4 to 8 players can join in on the action, which lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. Inspired by modern action movies, this game brings a fresh approach to the social deduction genre with minimal talking and maximum shooting. Each player knows their own role and the role of the player to their left, but things get complicated quickly as cards are played face-up and face-down. With cards like Gun, Armor, Money, Crime, and Intel, players must strategically use their resources to stay alive and uncover their opponents' roles. When a player takes three wounds, their team loses, making it crucial to find allies and keep a low profile.
