Nanty Narking

About this board game

Nanty Narking is a board game for 2–4 players that plays in about 60 minutes, set amid the myths, legends, and literary world of Victorian London.

Inspired by the realities and stories associated with Dickens’s and Doyle’s literature, the game unfolds across a map of the city. Players use card play to place their agents and buildings on the board, bringing a London filled with famous characters and memorable places to life.

Every card is unique, and the rules are designed to be easy to follow: play a card and do what it says. Most cards offer more than one action, allowing you to choose which effects to carry out. Some cards even let you play a second card, creating chains of actions as the game develops.

• For 2–4 players
• Approximately 60 minutes of play time
• Unique cards featuring characters from various books
• Agent and building placement on a map of Victorian London
• Secret personalities with individual victory conditions

At the start of the game, each player receives a secret personality with a specific path to victory. Since no one knows exactly what the other players must accomplish, every move can raise questions about hidden intentions.

You must work toward your own objective while watching the board and trying to prevent an opponent from achieving theirs. With its concealed goals, flexible card actions, and literary Victorian setting, Nanty Narking turns every decision into part of a larger mystery.
