Description
Mug Book: The Game of Street Crimes throws you and up to nine friends into a gritty, paper‑and‑pencil underworld where you’re all trying to crack a case before the city swallows you whole. Designed by Keith Olsen (I) and Brad Sieg back in ’84, the rules are so easy a new player can jump in after a quick chat, but the real fun comes from the way you team up (or half‑team up) to piece together clues, role‑play suspects, and chase down murder‑mystery scenarios that feel like a mini‑campaign every time you play. Whether you’re a lone wolf detective or a ragtag squad of cops, the game stretches from a quick 45‑minute bust to an epic 4‑hour showdown, scaling to fit 1‑10 players. It’s a cooperative deduction smash that mixes mystery, simulation and a dash of role‑playing, perfect for anyone who loves sleuthing with friends and seeing how far a simple sheet of paper can take a street crime saga.
