Description

Get ready for a thrilling undercover investigation with Hot Lead, a fast-paced game designed by Reiner Knizia. In this quick 15-minute game, 2 to 5 players compete to gather evidence against five criminal groups. The rules are simple, making it easy to dive right in and start playing. Each round, players simultaneously bid on criminal cards using investigator cards from their hand, with the highest bidder getting the card closest to the deck. The goal is to collect enough evidence to convict the criminal organizations without being too aggressive and scaring them off. Players earn points for the cards they collect, with bonus points for convicting an organization or collecting cards from all five groups. With its unique auction mechanism and push-your-luck gameplay, Hot Lead is an exciting and strategic game that's perfect for a quick game night or casual play.
