Between Seattle and Vancouver, a ferry runs on a daily basis. It’s a nice little jaunt, connecting two cities across national borders. It’s also a hotbed of crime. From sneaky suits to honest everyday docker crooks, today’s ferry trip is a mess of schemes and deals. With everybody in each other’s pockets, it’s a matter of time before something’s got to give.

Maybe you’ll get rich quick. 
Maybe you’ll get gone.


Or maybe, you’ll just get in the sea.

Description

the botch is back title

“You’d think on a single ferry there’s only room for so many crooks to be running the business.”

In The Botch Is Back, we return to the chaotic bluffing-lying-hurting playstyle of The Botch, but with a Canadian flair. The ferry between Seattle and Vancouver is a perfect place for white collar crimes to take a quick breather, for big deals and small crimes to go unnoticed. It’s also a perfect place for knuckle-busting blue-collar good-natured crooks to try and get their end in, hauling booze or maple syrup across the border. You get bad folk in closed spaces trying to get their own in, and what can possibly go wrong?

Everything!

Meant to evoke those chaotic crime movies where everything’s going wrong, The Botch Is Back is a party game of hidden information and ridiculous messes. It’s a game about bluffing and nerve, about pulling off a con, and about grabbing the jewels and running. You’re going to lie, cheat and steal, and if you’re really lucky you’ll get out of this with your skin intact.
