Loners

Loners is a card-shedding game for two to four players, each running a crew of street toughs. Players throw down escalating combos to outmuscle rivals and recruit public Loner cards to strengthen their crew, while Security Guards break up fights and force the next combo lower.

A round ends when one player empties their hand, but play continues until every public Loner has been claimed, so timing matters as much as card strength. The rules are simple and the illustrated cards set a scrappy tone. Published by Weast Coast.
