Pinned questions

Do the packs play on their own?

No. All three Ransom Notes packs need the base game underneath them. The metal answer cards and the main magnet pool only exist in the base box.

Where does my order actually go?

A buy button here opens the live listing in the store that stocks the box, and that checkout handles payment, delivery and the order page from then on.

Can kids play the base game?

The base box carries a 17+ mark because part of the deck aims at adults. Pull the spicier cards beforehand, or add the Family Edition pack and the deck polices itself.

We are usually eight or more. Which box?

Teams play fine out of the base box. If everyone insists on their own card, Expansion Pack One adds trays and stretches the game to ten players. The pinboard keeps a full note on big tables.

Can I read the rules before buying?

Yes. The full rules, both official variants included, are written out on the pinboard.

My box arrived damaged.

Sorry about that box. Replacements run through the store that shipped it: open the order page your confirmation points to and they sort it from there.
