Stop me or let me go is a short game in which every player will try to arrest the most famous gangster to score. Each player has 5 cards in hands. Four "go" and one "Stop". There is a deck of 10 cards in the middle of the table. 10 gangsters from 1 to 10 (from the less famous to the highest). A gangster is flipped face up and players will bid simultaneously a card face down. "Stop" if you want to stop the gangster, "go" if you don't. When each player have 1 card left in the hand, players resolve the oldest card played by flipping the cards face up. If there is only "go" cards, the gangster escape and players take back their cards and another gangster is flipped face up and every player plays a card face down. If there are SOME "stop" cards, the gangster runs away while players struggle between themselves. Players take back their cards and another gangster is flipped face up and players play a card face down. If there is ONE card "stop". Every card is revealed. The player who stop the most famous gangster (the highest value card) score and take a token. The game ends when a player has 3 token or when all the tokens are won (they value between 0 and 3 points) and the player with highest score win the game. —description from the publisher
