Downtown Chase is a semi-cooperative, card play, conflict resolution, dice rolling board game where 1-4 players play against the game and against each other, at the same time. Players move around the city streets trying to acquire the right location and the right weapon to eliminate Johnny the Quick – the guy nobody in town likes!
The game is played in rounds. The goal of the players is to eliminate Johnny the Quick (JTQ). JTQ is not controlled by any player, it is the game itself. JTQ moves around the board using a combination of dice rolls.
The players draw cards from three decks, trying to acquire the right combination of location card and weapon card needed to attack Johnny the Quick. When they move to the right location and have the right weapon in their hands and they get close to JTQ, they can attack. The attack is resolved on a separate board called The Assassination Chart, where the players try to eliminate JTQ using the weapon’s field of impact and dice roll.
