Rip

A hidden-information bidding game has crime-scene cleaners place vice cards around valuables to claim the best haul. Face-down items can conceal penalties, while spent card values return unpredictably and keep each bid uncertain.

Theme: You are a crime scene cleaning squad. While you're at it, you might as well put a few valuables in your pockets to sell later. Of course you're not supposed to steal them for yourself, but still you don't want to share them with your colleagues. As you do not want to be seen, you act in the dark, so you do not always know what you're stealing. Oh crap! it seems the murderer is still here… Be smarter than the others to earn a lot! Gameplay: At your turn, play a Vice card around an item you covet, knowing that the number of available items varies during the game and that some are (card) face hidden, thus increasingly risking to meet unpleasant surprises (malus points). Once 4 Vice cards are placed by players around an item, those Vice cards are revealed to know which player earn the item. Each Vice value from your own pile card go to your discard pile once played, but you're not sure when you'll be able to get it back. Value zero can be as you like: either placed normally, or can allow you to see the bottom of a card secretly, or move a Vice card. Two other game modes availables, bringing a variation of tactic and bluff.
