About the game
What you do in a play session
The Mad Men Deck is a Kickstarter‑only mini‑expansion for Police Precinct. It consists of six extra event cards, all of which are level 5 or 6, that replace existing cards in the event deck. Adding one or more of these cards at the start of the game raises the difficulty, as high‑level events usually bring tougher situations and force the team to rethink its strategy on the fly. Each card introduces an unexpected scenario that can shift the course of the investigation, demanding quick adaptation from the players. The promo was given to Kickstarter backers, who received the full set, and was also included in pre‑release orders through Common Man Games, which shipped three random cards along with the base game. Today, a random assortment can still be bought from the BoardGameGeek Bazaar while supplies last. Though it adds only cards, the Mad Men Deck provides a straightforward way to spice up the game, keeping the cooperative core intact while adding extra tension for groups that have already mastered the standard setup. Perfect for players who want a higher challenge without new rules or bulky components.
