Code 3 is a cooperative, story-driven, 80s-themed crime-fighting game.
Can you save your city from badly-named mob bosses, fear-inducing serial killers, a rising crime rate,
and a police chief who isn’t always your friend?
How to Play
Customize your crime-fighting duo by selecting two officers (out of hundreds of officer combinations), each with their own unique deck, which are then shuffled together to create your “Beat Partners” deck.
You can tailor your Beat Partners deck to answer 911 calls quickly, investigate for witnesses and evidence, complete scenario objectives, or even move your beat cops into position to help your allies. There are hundreds of character combinations to experiment with, and finding the best two cops (or canines!) is key to your team’s victory! Choices are everywhere!
Most importantly, Code 3 gives players the opportunity to handle things by the book… or play just outside the rules. However, if players choose to step outside the Police Department’s Code of Conduct, then the Internal Affairs Division starts investigating them. Players then shuffle “IA Heat” cards into their deck, and if two are ever drawn on the same turn, those players must immediately proceed to a contentious “Internal Affairs Interview.”
Unfortunately, this prevents players from hitting the street and handling those 911 calls. Your teammates can help you during the IA Interview by vouching for you… but at what cost? Are they willing to put their reputation on the line for you? Are they willing to risk their own IA Interview?
