Description
New York, the city that never sleeps. According to the high and mighty, things were supposed to be different in the Big Apple in 1938. No more poverty. Medicine that works. Shining skyscrapers and subway cars, the new age upon us. Sure. So why am I in the same dingy office, with a cheap desk and a cheaper secretary, paid to find a missing husband somewhere out in the mean streets? Simple job, except my wealthy socialite employer was hiding something. She was a good looker but a bad liar. I grabbed my hat and gun. I slipped a flask into the pocket of my overcoat. I was ready to wade into the cesspool.
Deadline is a film noir co-operative card game for 2-4 players from the team behind Galactic Emperor, Ninjato and Wizards of the Wild in which players as detectives use special abilities and hand management to follow clever clues to solve an original mystery.

Quotes (from this video)
- sometimes when we see age restrictions on games it leaves us scratching our heads
- Publishers are trying to avoid certain fees and costs associated with testing for choking hazards and so it's just easier for them to say okay this is for 10 and up and they can forgo those costs
- so is that a consideration when you're thinking about games that might be appropriate or inappropriate for your children not just what they're visually going to see but what they're going to be doing in the game play
- sometimes if I watch a board game review and it's particularly critical in the post of people's comments they'll often say things like thanks for your honesty or this is why I value you as a reviewer you're not afraid to speak the truth
- but is criticism inherently more truthful than a compliment
- I don't review games I never share my opinions on them one way or the other but I do wonder what the psychology is behind that
- I prefer to play games across the table from somebody but that's just not always possible
- remote gaming gives me that opportunity
- Grail games these are games that you really want but they're maybe hard to find out of print quite expensive
- my gril game is necromunda this is the first m game that I ever played I introduced it to some friends in University who were not Gamers but then we all really got into it building our little gangs painting them up and then playing against one another it was a lot of fun but my attachment to the game is primarily sentimental
- there's arguably better Miniatures games out there now I've been told that Dead Zone by Mantic Games is basically an equivalent to necromunda and I'd probably enjoy that but I still for whatever reason one necromunda is that nuts probably a little nuts
