What is Film Noir?
Film noir was a term created in 1946 to describe American thriller or detective films made. Hallmarks of the genre are the dark and pessimistic themes, the brooding anti-heroes, the dreary rain soaked streets with mysteries or danger, and captivating femme fatales. Check out some of our favorites: The Big Sleep, Double Indemnity, and The Maltese Falcon.
How do I play this game?
TLDR: The Big Shuffle is a competitive 2-4 player film noir card game, where you play as 1 of 6 characters, each with their own agenda and unique abilities. Players must use their wit, guile, and influence to outmaneuver their opponents and set their desired scene. But be careful as it is easy for someone else to change the scene for their benefit.
Here is the Rulebook for more information: https://previouslypluto.com/the-big-shuffle-instructions/
Why “The Big Shuffle”?
The Big Shuffle is inspired by classic Film Noir movie titles. We were looking for a name that both embodied that genre and card games in general. With many famous Movies, like “The Big Sleep”, we decided on “The Big Shuffle”.
“The Big Shuffle” is an event that is initiated when the cards run out from the Midtown row. When this happens, you take the cards from the Uptown and Downtown rows and shuffle them together to make a new Midtown row!
