Mighty Boards has announced its heist game Pinched!, releasing in October following a premiere at both Spiel in Essen Germany and Pax Unplugged.

Created by David Gordon (Finspan, Monkey Palace) and Jonathan Gilmour-Long (Dead of Winter, Dinosaur Island), Pinched! puts two to five players in the shoes of would-be burglars seeking to "redistribute" a few valuables from the underserving rich into their own hands. Each turn, one player acts as the “mastermind” and plans a perfect heist, while the other burglars try to guess their plot.  If the mastermind outwits the others, they get the entire haul for themselves, but if the others guess the right target, they’ll have to share.  The one who burgles the most wealth by the end of the game wins.

Pinched! comes with 5 location boards, 5 burglar stash boards, 207 cards, 17 tokens, mastermind pawn, and round tracker dial.  The game is intended for two to five players, ages 10 and up, and plays in about an hour.  MSRP is $35.00.


Last year, Mighty Boards launched the Reiner Knizia design Rebirth (see "Restore Scotland in Reiner Knizia’s ‘Rebirth’").
