Description
Intent to Kill is a thrilling detective noire game in which you will find yourself in the middle of a police investigation. You can take the role of a notorious serial killer, while the other shall become an experienced detective following the tracks of a criminal.
The game is different for each of these roles: the murderer has to plan every step while hiding their motive; the detective has to collect evidence and question witnesses — but not all of them are truthful...
A new murder is committed each round. The detective can move around the blocks and question civilians that might have useful information. The murderer can intimidate civilians to stall the investigation. The game ends after the fifth murder.
Use your actions and abilities efficiently, the detective has to find the murderer among civilians and determine their motive by analyzing the murders. If the detective fails, the murderer wins.
The game allows for many ways to enrich gameplay — when you get comfortable with the basic rules you can combine different motives, add new components and play through scenarios. Once you have enough practice, you will be able to rediscover the complexity of the game: our game tests show that a truly intense battle begins when experienced players that have mastered both roles go against each other.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is a deck-building game.
- one of the interesting aspects of this is there's 13 ways to win the game.
- Essentially, 13 dark pacts in the game and each of those dark pacts is a unique win condition that feels, you know, it feels like crazy to get.
- You can also play two times and three times multipliers on those cards to double every aspect of the card.
- that just feels like a very satisfying aspect of the game.
- the main mechanism of the game is I split, you choose and that's always one of my favorite mechanisms because it's it's not a difficult game to teach, but it's a difficult game to make decisions.
- So, what do you sacrifice and what do you keep is also an interesting aspect of that one.
- This is a great family game if you want to.
- And so, there's a lot of lying and promising of other people where you're like, "Do you want to go there with me? Nobody else go there.
- I swear to god, don't go there."
- And so, there's a lot of sort of lying and intrigue and where you're going and promises that you're making and stuff like that.
- please, you know, check out my new series. It's all funny and games when it drops in May.
