Our Tips for Winning
-
As Angela: vary your routes and preserve your false identities
Your Identity tilesare your safety net. Don't burn through them unnecessarily: plan your movements to avoid monitored areas and always keep one or two identities in reserve for critical moments.
-
As Jessah: anticipate, don't react
The FBI is powerful, but slow. Rather than chasing Angela, block high-value citiesand force her to change her plans. Each cashed check strengthens your resources: use this momentum to tighten the noose.
-
Master the turn's Action cards before acting
The 4 Action cards drawn each rounddefine the rules of the game for both sides. Before placing your tokens, analyze what your opponent can or cannot do this turn. The constraint is shared: exploit it better than they do.
FAQ – All about Red Notice
Is Red Notice hard to pick up?
No. Despite its asymmetric mechanics, the game remains accessible from 10 years old. Each role has its own rules, but these are clear and well differentiated. A first game is usually enough to master the basics.
Are the two roles balanced?
Yes. Angela and Jessah have radically different goals and tools, but the game is designed so that neither is favored. Asymmetry creates tension, not imbalance.
Can you play Red Notice 2-on-2?
The game is officially designed for a head-to-head duel, but there's nothing to stop two teams from playing by consulting each other. This changes the bluffing experience, but can be a good way to discover the game with others.
