Police 07

Police 07 transports the classic cat‑and‑mouse chase to the streets of Budapest, swapping the iconic London map for a Hungarian setting full of bridges, avenues, and historic districts. Each game has one player as a secret criminal moving covertly, while the rest become police agents trying to deduce his route before he slips away. Movement follows point‑to‑point routes connecting the city’s neighborhoods, giving the chase a clear, structured flow.

Police officers draw cards representing various transport modes – bus, tram, car, or on foot – and must manage their hand to cover strategic areas and block possible paths of the fugitive. Meanwhile, the criminal uses a set of hidden tokens to mark his location on the map, revealing it only when captured or at the end of a turn, keeping everyone on the edge of their seat.

The rules are straightforward, making it great for newcomers, yet the hidden‑movement and hand‑management aspects add tactical depth. Up to six players can join, and a typical game lasts about 45 minutes, allowing multiple rounds in a single gaming session. Its light weight (1.9/5) ensures accessibility without demanding lengthy rulebooks.

Police 07 features retro‑style artwork reminiscent of 1980s police posters and quality components – a fold‑out board, unit tokens, and nicely illustrated cards. If you enjoy deduction, pursuit, and urban map games, this title delivers nostalgic tension without overwhelming complexity.
