Peaky Blinders is an immersive board game that stays true to the theme and atmosphere of the television series of the same name. We felt like delving into the violent and intriguing criminal realm of the Peaky Blinders gang.

The game mechanics of Peaky Blinders are well designed and offer a mix of strategy, bluffing and bargaining. It is essential to make smart moves and forge alliances to outshine rivals and expand your criminal empire. That means that the game requires quite a bit of tactical game insight.

The theme is well developed and manages to convey the dark and mysterious atmosphere of the series well. The cards with special abilities and events add an extra layer of strategy and keep the game interesting and unpredictable.

We certainly had fun with the theme and the game mechanics, the rules are quite easy to learn. This may not be the right game to start with for players who are not familiar with strategy games. In addition, the interaction between players can sometimes be intense, which is nice in the right player group, but not everyone likes that in our group.

Overall, Peaky Blinders is a fun board game for fans of the series and strategy game enthusiasts. It offers an immersive and thrilling experience in the underworld of the Peaky Blinders gang and provides numerous strategic challenges.
