In *Possums in a Trench Coat*, you're a crafty possum scavenging mall trash to feed your joeys. The catch? You and your rivals are all crammed into the same human trench coat! Each round, you bid 'hiss' tokens to steer the shared human—majority rules. Expect lightning-fast alliances, dirty betrayals, and shameless bluffing, because when the coat comes off, it's every possum for themselves! The game blends area movement, a modular board (the mall expands), and a hearty dose of absurd humor. Win by hoarding your joeys' favorite trash types, but remember: sharing a disguise demands diplomacy... or sheer audacity.
