## Description
RUN is a fast‑paced, tense cat‑and‑mouse showdown for two players. One player becomes the Runner, dashing across a futuristic city skyline with a limited pool of movement tiles and gadgets, while leaving subtle clues behind. The other player is the Dispatcher, piloting a helicopter and patrol cars, equipped with powerful search abilities and the option to call in backup when things get dicey. The Runner must plan each move carefully; run out of tiles or corner yourself, and the Dispatcher will quickly deduce your path. If the Runner is tagged twice, the game ends. The grid‑based board supports hidden movement and deduction, and each role has a once‑per‑game power that can swing the tide. Variable set‑up means the city layout changes every play, keeping the experience fresh. In 10‑30 minutes, players engage in a nerve‑wracking race of memory, prediction, and reading the opponent’s intent. Its low weight (2.14/5) and easy learning curve make it perfect for quick sessions, yet the strategic depth satisfies seasoned gamers.
