Go Ahead Punk! Review

[@mikefoster6018]

I bought this game after having a demo of it at the UK Games expo this weekend. Then played it again with two friends. It's great fun. A pacy, thematic simulation of the final hour of a 70s Dirty Harry or Shaft type movie, and with a lot of fun decisions for both cops and killer. I especially like the choice between moving or drawing a card because both are really important. There was genuine fun tension. I really like the very low downtime, non-existent bookkeeping and general speed of it. The only negatives for me are that the crucial deduction element can't alter how luck is a big part of this - although clever players can mitigate the luck a bit and have a lot of fun doing it. Plus the rules include a few hard-to-remember edge cases (for a casual game) that mean you have to study the rulebook more than average for a game that might only last 75 minutes (or, like me, you can write an insert covering some 'hard to remember' rules).

I backed the Kickstarter and can't wait for my copy of the game to arrive. Probably the game I'm looking forward to the most. Glad to hear it's getting positive reviews.
