Game Overview

Summary

Cute critters hit hard times in this asymmetric board game where 2-5 players will grow their criminal critter syndicate vying for control of 1930s Cen

How it plays

Players collect and roll food dice to pull off daring crimes, stash in burrows, and play dirty for powerful bonuses. But don’t get too greedy—your rivals might plant dirt on you, or sic the Bark Ranger on your tail.

 With variable abilities and delightfully devious mechanics like stealing art, creating rackets, and tossing dice in the trash, Critter Crimes is the perfect mix of cute and cunning. Grab your gang, sharpen your claws, and let the crime spree begin.

 

 The core gameplay loop is a repetitive series of days and nights where players will explore Central Park and gather food dice to help them commit crimes, resources to help them build burrows, bottlecaps for help increase their ability scores, and dirt to help them gain leverage on their opponents. Each crime has a minor effect and a major effect that activates once a player has food stored on it in their burrow.
