RUN (2023)

About this game

RUN is a quick, tense, hidden movement game of cat-and-mouse. One player is the Runner, who is navigating a city skyline and using gadgets. Pursing him is the Dispatcher, sending her helicopter and patrol cars to hunt him down. The Runner has a limited supply of movement tiles, so he'll need to plan ahead to not paint himself in a corner. Every movement also leaves clues for the Dispatch to deduce where he went. The Dispatch has powerful searching abilities and can call for backup if things get tough. If the Runner gets tagged twice, the game is over. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
