Chronicles of Crime: Noir

About this expansion

Chronicles of Crime: Noir is an expansion for 1–4 players that adds an unconventional private-detective experience to the Chronicles of Crime base game, with an approximate play time of 90 minutes.

In Noir, the whole group collectively represents a single private detective. Rather than relying on Forensic Contacts, players have four action cards that can be used at any point during the game, giving the investigation a distinctly different approach to crime solving.

• Spy
• Break-In
• Bribe
• Intimidate

These unconventional methods come with limitations. Intimidating everyone you meet can have repercussions, while money is in short supply, making it impossible to bribe every contact. Choosing when to use each action is therefore an important part of the investigation.

Authored by Stephane Anquetil, Noir brings another side to crime busting and offers a new way for the group to approach its cases. The expansion requires the Chronicles of Crime base game, London, and cannot be played on its own.

An app is required to play Chronicles of Crime: Noir. Once downloaded, the app does not require an Internet connection during play. The listed system requirements are Android 4.4 or newer or iOS 8.0 or newer, although these requirements may change in the future.
