BONNIE AND CLYDE

Welcome to the thrilling world of Bonnie and Clyde! In this game, you’ll step into the shoes of an FBI agent on a mission to capture the notorious duo. But here’s the catch – you’re not alone. All the other agents are after them too! It’s an intense race to see who can nab Bonnie and Clyde first.

The gameplay of Bonnie and Clyde is similar to classic Rummy. Your objective is to play melds and lay off Evidence cards to score points. The first player to reach 100 points wins the game.

SETUP

To set up the game, place the game board in the center of the playing area. Make sure all ten locations are visible. Put the Crime Spree figure on the Kaufman Texas location. Take eight random cards from the deck, which includes the Bonnie and Clyde cards. Shuffle all ten cards, placing one underneath each location on the game board.

In a game of cards, a dealer is randomly chosen. They will mix up the deck of cards and give ten cards to two players, nine cards to three players, or eight cards to four players. The remaining cards are placed face down in the middle to create the draw pile. The top card is turned over and put beside the draw pile to form the discard pile. And that’s how the game starts.

How to Play the Game

The gameplay begins with the first player and continues in a clockwise direction around the group. The first player is the person sitting on the left side of the dealer. Each player takes turns drawing cards, deciding whether to play them, and then discarding cards. Players must also draw a card from the case file.

So here’s what I’m thinking. First, you can choose to play a card. But wait! There’s a catch – you can only play one Ted Hinton card per turn. But don’t worry, because playing this card gives you some awesome options. You can draw two cards, take one from the files, or peek at a card underneath a location. How cool is that?

If you’re not feeling the card play, you can go for a meld. A meld is when you play three cards from the same location. And hey, you can also play individual cards in front of you as part of a meld. It’s like building your own little collection.

Now, here’s the exciting part. If the car you’re at matches the cards you played in your meld, you have to lay it down sideways. It’s all part of the game, you know?

Alright, so once all the players have done their thing, the round is over. How does the round end, you ask? Well, it’s simple. Either someone discards their final card or the Case File pile runs out of cards. That’s when it’s time to tally up your scores and see who’s the real deal.

When we play the game, only the cards in front of us count towards our score. If we play an evidence card sideways, we’ll get four points for it, and if it’s played upright like the others, it’s worth two points. The Bonnie and Clyde cards are really special – they’re worth ten points each! After we tally up our scores, we shuffle the cards and start a new round if no one has reached 100 points yet.

GAME OVER

The game ends as soon as someone reaches 100 points. That person is the winner! Now, if two players reach 100 or more points at the same time, the person with the most points overall is the winner. But if nobody reaches 100 points yet, we just start another round and keep playing!
