Overview

In City Chase, one player takes on the role of a thief attempting to evade capture, while the other players cooperate as police officers trying to deduce the thief's location. The thief moves secretly between buildings on the game board, recording their movements while the police officers use limited information and deduction to narrow down the thief's possible locations.

The game is a tense cat-and-mouse chase, with the police working together to strategically block off routes and gather clues. The thief must carefully plan their escape, anticipating the police's moves and using cunning to stay one step ahead. The police win if they successfully corner the thief; the thief wins if they manage to evade capture for a set number of turns.
