Description

Bad Samaritans is the perfect mix of snappy cards, wild dice rolls and over‑the‑top role‑playing that’ll have a table of three to six friends shouting, laughing and backstabbing in equal measure. Designed by Gils Johann and out since 2020, the game’s rules are so simple you can jump right in, but the layers of conflict‑resolution, catch‑the‑leader chases, command cards, critical hits and failures, and sneaky “kill‑steal” moves keep the drama fresh every round. Draft your deck, negotiate alliances, push your luck and try not to get eliminated while you hustle for victory points as a resource. Whether you’re into comic‑book humor, gritty sci‑fi battles or just a raucous party vibe, Bad Samaritans delivers fast‑paced action, dexterity challenges and plenty of “take‑that” moments, all wrapped in a mischievously mature, fantasy‑fighting theme that can stretch from a quick 30‑minute skirmish to an epic 2‑hour campaign.
