Cut and Run (1988)

About this game

"The Game of Gambling Strategy" - Be the first to collect a set or more of casinos and to successfully 'Cut and 'Run'. The game consists of a playing board, a regular pack of cards, poker chips, a roulette wheel, casinos cards (5 sets of three colors), action cards and player guides. The aim of the game is to collect a Casino Set and to stay a complete round on the board without any losses. At the roll of a dice, players travel around the board buying casinos. If they land on a casino that is already owned then they must gamble at the casino using the supplied deck of cards and roulette wheel. To win the game a player must circumnavigate the board one last time while maintaining at least one set of casinos.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
