## Description
Good Cop Bad Cop is that game of betrayal and deduction that turns into pure chaos in minutes. You're a cop in a corrupt district, trying to figure out who's clean and who's dirty — but watch out, because everyone's hiding something. The goal? Take out the enemy team's leader using guns, gear, and a whole lot of bluffing. The third edition streamlined the rules and improved visuals, making it more accessible without losing the delightful messiness. Equipment cards were tweaked to keep the game snappy, and it's still compatible with old expansions. Pro tip: trust no one, especially your 'ally' with a hand on their holster.

## FAQ
### Best player count?
4 to 8. Fewer than 4 feels predictable, more than 8 becomes glorious chaos.

### Language dependent?
Moderate text. If anyone doesn't know English, print a cheat sheet.

### How long does it take?
20 to 45 minutes, depending on how many missed shots people take.

### Is it complex?
Lightweight (1.33/5 on BGG). 3rd edition made rules even simpler.

### Good for Resistance fans?
Yes, but betrayal here is more direct. Less talk, more action.

### Are expansions needed?
No, base game is fun. Expansions add more gear and madness.

### Kid-friendly?
Police theme and cartoonish 'violence'. Best for 12+ or kids who handle betrayal well.
