Blades in the Dark (Forged in the Dark)
Blades in the Dark is one of those games that I feel like everyone should learn just because it’s such a masterclass on game design. Perfectly suited to heists, intrigue, and faction play, the dice pool system makes every roll feel like a gamble. With hugely popular third-party market based around its Forged in the Dark license, there is no end to the hijinks you and your crew can get up to. With customizable playbooks and an ingenious flashback mechanic, this low-prep heist system is an excellent one to add to your arsenal.
