Scoundrel Society is the first Small Box/Big Fun game from Action Phase Games where players take on the role of a member of The Society, a gathering of notable con artists who come together once a year to show off their craft by proving who can steal the most loot from the mark without getting caught. Loot is lifted from the mark by playing one of five action cards, most of which work best when played alone. But tread carefully: while many pieces of loot have unique abilities that can affect the game, each carries a suspicion value. So when Constable Cramphorn is revealed from the last ten cards of the loot deck, the player with the highest suspicion score is apprehended, leaving the rest to compare the value of their ill-gotten gains to determine who is the most dirty and rotten of the Scoundrel Society.

Fun game I just played this at a board game café. It was a fun game. Basically, everyone is a thief looking to steal the most money off of a wealthy character with the least amount of suspicion points built up. In the process, you stash items, steal or exchange items from other characters and attempt to reduce your number of suspicion points. The player with the most amount of suspicion points gets put into jail and the the player with the most amount of money wins. I look forward to playing it…
