Stop Me Or Let Me Go

Guess what the others will play and be the one to stop the gangster.

Each player has 5 cards in hand (4 "Go" cards and one "Stop" card).

A deck of 10 cards is placed in the middle of the table. 10 gangsters from 1 to 10 (least famous to most famous).

A gangster is turned face-up and players simultaneously bid on a face-down card. You can say "Stop" if you want to stop the gangster, "Go" if you don't.

When each player has only one card left in hand, players resolve the oldest card played by turning the cards face-up.

•     If there are only "go" cards, the gangster escapes and the players take their cards back. Another gangster is turned face-up and each player plays a card face-down.
•     If there are any "stop" cards, the gangster escapes while the players struggle with each other. Players take their cards back and another gangster is turned face-up and players play a face-down card.
•     If there is ONE "stop" card. Each card is revealed. The player who stopped the most famous gangster (the card with the highest value) scores a point and takes a token.

The game ends when a player has 3 tokens or when all tokens are won (they have a value between 0 and 3 points) and the player with the highest score wins the game.
