Hook, Line and Sinker!

There are times and places like these, all over. Rich people are the typical mark – people so rich they can carry enough cash that they won’t notice if it all goes missing. Casino openings. Art galleries. Presentations of important political parties. The events change, but the situation’s always the same.

When there’s money to be made, thieves come to make it. Thieves like you. You may not be able to get it all, but with all this cash going unchecked, you’re in a perfect place to find a mark to clean out. All you need to do is set someone up to fall for your con, Hook, Line & Sinker.


A series of cards from Hook, Line and Sinker


In Hook, Line & Sinker, you’re playing fast-talking improvising thieves trying to make the most money you can in a situation that’s ripe for a con. You have to put together a Plan, which is made up of the cards in your hand. But you don't get to see them all the time, and you don't get to see everything your opponents are holding - meaning that there's always going to be some times when you don't know if you've got the best plan, but you've got a plan and that's as good as you're going to get.

Played with a deck of only 18 cards, Hook, Line & Sinker is a microgame for groups ranging in size from 2 to 6. It needs almost no table space, and it rewards daring and cunning more than memorisation and practice.

Shuffle up and make a plan.


Hook, Line & Sinker requires players to manage some hidden information that other players are trying to mix up. Players need to be able to pick cards at random from small groups of three, so while you may need to shuffle regularly, it will only be three cards at once. There needs to be some small common space for the commons cards to rest, which needs to be about five cards wide. The game rules don’t require you to talk to other players, and you’re not obligated to communicate what you know with other players. You don’t have to lie and you’re not obligated to talk to anyone.

And always: Remember to respect the players and their needs.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
