Source of How to Guide to your first game of New York Noir (the demo case)


  Here's the fastest way to jump into your first game of New York Noir:

* Start with the demo case (The Past is a Crooked Game) which is a gentle introduction to New York Noir
* You can download it from: [https://nynoir.org/games/game/crookedpast/](https://nynoir.org/games/game/crookedpast/)
* On that page, if you plan to read the case book on a screen, download "ThePastIsACrookedGame_soloForScreen_letter.pdf" but if you plan to print it, download "ThePastIsACrookedGame_twocol_letter.pdf" (53 pages)
* The fastest way to get started playing a case is to use the online directories and map; those are available at: [https://nynoir.org/map/](https://nynoir.org/map/)
* If you want to watch a tutorial on how to use those tools see: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv-7yM2fCAw0bg3XVMSWYJhZp2AEipGMo](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv-7yM2fCAw0bg3XVMSWYJhZp2AEipGMo)
* You can also watch a full playthrough of the demo case here (using printed materials): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gGfcL7Xtb8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gGfcL7Xtb8)
* The rules and other guides for New York Noir are here: [https://nynoir.org/downloads](https://nynoir.org/downloads)
* There are a couple of sheets you SHOULD print out on that page: 1 copy of the Case Tracking Sheet and 2 copies of the Case Day Log from that download page.
* You won't need the other files on that page if you play using the online map/search tools but you can grab them on that page if you want (don't try to print them out they aren't finalized yet).
