## Description
Get ready to dive into 1938 New York, a vibrant city full of contrasts, but also the scene of dark mysteries. In 'Deadline', you and your friends take on the roles of private detectives, tasked with unraveling an intriguing case unfolding on the streets of the Big Apple. Forget the glamorous image: you're in a modest office, with a secretary who costs less than your salary, and a wealthy client who seems to be hiding more than she reveals. It's time to put on your hat, grab your gun, and plunge into this underworld of secrets.

This is a cooperative card game with a film noir vibe, perfect for 2 to 4 players. The idea is to work as a team, utilizing each detective's special abilities and managing your hand of cards well to follow the cleverest clues.

Each player will have to use their intelligence and communication with the group to piece together the puzzle, collecting evidence and eliminating suspects. The narrative is immersive, and the feeling of being in a classic detective story is palpable. If you enjoy a good enigma and the thrill of solving a crime, 'Deadline' promises an engaging and challenging experience.
