PLAYED FOR YOU

Lupin The 3^rd

The Expansion #1

Based on the Manga series you can play different scenarios. All characters move orthogonally; the members of the gang must reach the treasure and keep themselves hidden as well as they can from Inspector Zenigata and his police force. In order to be invisible to the police forces, gang member must stand on a spot outside the shooting range of Zenigata. You win together as a member of the gang or alone as police force. The gang has 13 rounds to move off the board with the treasure; the police must hinder at least one member of the gang to leave the board. Fujiko Mine can try to betray the other gang members and try to escape with the treasure on her own. In a round Zenigata moves first and then has standard actions in any order; then the gang members move and have standard actions, transport, use equipment and play action cards. This is followed by actions specific to the scenario and you can - if possible - take the treasure, move the round marker or end the game.

The expansion features two new episodes for Lupin III and his gang:

Back to Cagliostro is set in the French Alps; Lupin and the gang must find the Roman coins in the Temple of Divus Caesar and escape with them within a maximum of 18 rounds; Zenigata must stop them; Fujiko starts as a traitor and tries to escape with the treasure on her own, but she could also return to the gang or maybe even work for Zenigata.

In Stonehenge’s Blade all search for Excalibur, the time frame is 11 rounds and Fujiko does not turn traitor in this scenario.

Lupin und Manga, this combination and the attractive components provide fun in this expansion, too, clever use of Fujiko is a special challenge.
