Pinched! (ENG) - Card game

Pinched!

Plan the perfect heist and make sure your rivals turn up at the wrong place in Pinched!. In this competitive board game, 2 to 5 players become cunning burglars who prefer to describe their profession as 'wealth redistribution'. Each turn, one player becomes the Mastermind and secretly chooses where the next burglary will take place. The other players try to read the plan and visit the same location to pinch part of the haul. If the Mastermind arrives alone, all the valuables are theirs. If the others correctly predict the target, however, that precious loot will have to be shared.

Key Features:

• Plan the Perfect Heist: As the Mastermind, secretly select the location of your next burglary and try to completely mislead your fellow players.
• Bluffing and Deduction: When you are not the Mastermind, predict the target of the heist and make sure you appear at exactly the right place.
• Collect Valuable Loot: Gather different valuables in your personal stash, create profitable sets and sell them to build as much wealth as possible.
• Rotating Mastermind: The Mastermind role moves between players, giving everyone opportunities to plan their own heists and decipher their rivals' schemes.
• Modular Locations: Five double-sided Location boards offer different abilities and setups, allowing you to explore new combinations and more advanced configurations.
• Packed with Components: Includes 5 Location boards, 5 Burglar Stash boards, 176 Valuables cards, 25 Location cards, 6 Curse cards and a variety of thematic tokens and components.
• Accessible and Competitive: Designed by David Gordon and Jonathan Gilmour-Long for 2–5 players ages 10 and up, with a playing time of approximately 45–60 minutes. This edition includes an English rulebook.

Why Choose Pinched!?

Pinched! combines accessible rules with an engaging game of cat and mouse where reading the other players can be just as important as managing your cards. As the Mastermind, you want to choose a lucrative location without revealing your intentions, while the other burglars scrutinise every decision in an attempt to predict your plan. Collecting and selling sets adds another tactical layer, as not every piece of loot has the same value to every player. Double-sided locations and different setups provide additional variety as you become more experienced. Pinched! is an excellent choice for players who enjoy bluffing, deduction, direct interaction and accessible competitive games that keep everyone involved.
