Dumb Criminals will see players building and running the biggest criminal crews, whilst successfully pulling off heists and making as much cash as they can by correctly answering Dumb Criminal questions – the race is on to be the first player to secure $50,000. Starting from the four corners of the board with $15,000 each, players then hand pick their ‘crew’ by each selecting five criminal tokens. On their turn, players move around the board landing on various play spaces. When a player lands on an orange Heist space this is an opportunity to make some cash. The player must first decide how many crew members, up to five, they will put on this heist, they then have to decide is a Dumb Criminal story is really true or false. If the player guess correctly, each of the crew members on the heist receive the amount of cash on the board space – up to $2,000. If they get it wrong, all of the crew members on the heist immediately move to Jail! Players need to think carefully about how many crew will be sent on each heist as the more they risk the more they could win…but also could lose! Other play spaces include Court Space where players have the opportunity to bail jailed crew members and build their own criminal crew, the Bounty Hunter space where cash is required to hang onto your crew and the Blood Fued space which could see players put out of the gam permanently!
This brilliant strategic family board game is great for 2 to 4 players age 12 years and over.
