The soldier’s minute: in a battle, that’s all you get. One minute of everything at once. And anything before is nothing. Everything after: nothing. Nothing in comparison to that one minute.” A few issues aside, Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a celebration of the TV sensation that translates much of what is loved about the show into tangible game play systems.

The phrasing doesn’t quite ring true and the tone that the family members take towards each other isn’t entirely recognisable.

The story is definitely not kid-friendly, however, as it revolves around a conspiracy that the Peaky Blinders are at the centre of as a web of violence, deceit, and revenge is uncovered. It’s by no means a riveting tale, but a serviceable one with comic book panel-like cutscenes that glues its puzzle box levels together.
