Footsteps echo through the alleys of New York—who ate our pizza?
As players lay down their cards, suspicion and strategy deepen with each trick.
The Third Man is a trick-taking game for 3–4 players, where the goal is to avoid collecting suspicion—represented by penalty points. The rules are simple: play the highest-numbered card of each suit. But as the game progresses, players must carefully choose their moves to shift suspicion onto others. When the pressure rises, escaping the scene might be your only option.
Stand your ground to prove your innocence. In the end, the player with the most penalty points is condemned as The Third Man—the pizza thief.
This game is limited to 250 copies and will be available at Game Market Autumn 2025.
Quick to play but rich in mind games, this suspenseful and darkly humorous game is all about dodging blame and turning the tables.
