In Counterfeiters, you step into the shoes of a bill counterfeiter trying to amass the most real cash, but it won’t be easy: the police are always on the lookout and the mafia don’s tax is steep. Set in bustling Miami, each player controls three animal tokens that represent their counterfeit operations. At the start of each round you place one of these tokens on one of the board’s spots—each spot offers a unique action: buying component cards, printing fake money, swapping fakes for real cash, or stashing your loot offshore. The choice of spot determines your long‑term strategy, because each spot can only be used by one player per round. Meanwhile, the game keeps the tension high: low‑quality fakes are quickly invalidated by the cops, and the don can shield you from investigations, but every use costs more. You must balance the protection cost with the need to keep your money out of the police’s sights. To win, you simply need to be the player with the most real money at the end of the game. The worker placement mechanic is clear, but the interplay between component cards, fake money, and mafia protection adds a layer of strategy that keeps the game dynamic and competitive. If you enjoy crime‑themed games, card combos, and worker placement, Counterfeiters offers a fun experience that mixes humor, police tension, and don negotiations. The game runs about 35 minutes, supports 2‑4 players, and has a moderate complexity—great for those who want something lighter than heavy strategy but with enough depth to keep the conversation lively.
