Inspired by popular board games from the late 19th century, " Cops and Robbers " presents a farcical chase between criminals and law enforcement. In a lively and humorously illustrated box, players take on the roles of cops or robbers and advance across a double-sided, numbered game board. The game is played with pawns, tokens, and dice, and each illustrated event tells a new story of misadventure in this breathless pursuit. A veritable miniature paper theater, with vibrant and cartoonish graphics.
