Blades in the Dark is a tabletop role-playing game about a crew of daring scoundrels seeking their fortunes on the haunted streets of an industrial-fantasy city. There are heists, chases, occult mysteries, dangerous bargains, bloody skirmishes, and, above all, riches to be had — if you’re bold enough to seize them.

Pros
Cons
Con Simple rules
If you like to have detailed rules for every possible action, item and situation, this game will disappoint you. While you can easily use the rules to resolve all situations, the game goes more like "does my customized sniper scope give me an advantage in this situation?" than the usual "at the exact range of 33.25 meters this scope of model BR5638 gives me a bonus of +3 to hit"
Con Focused on one playstyle
The whole game plays in one town (there are good reasons why the players should not usually leave town in the background) and is mainly focused on heists. It is structured around heist -> downtime -> free play -> repeat. If you don't like this structure or heists in general (though heists can be anything from a social dinner party, an infiltration to steal a valuable artifact, to a frontal assault of a faction's main stronghold) you will find it difficult to make the rules work for you.
