Put those detective skills to work! In this game, players work together to solve a variety of criminal cases. There are three levels of play: Basic (solving 6 cases at once); 12 Case Load; or 18 Case Load. The group can decide which level of play they would like, and then the group picks a “Chief” (or dealer). Using evidence cards, the group must try to gain enough evidence to overpower a suspect. Each suspect card has three numbers to represent their resources: wealth, alibi, and friends. In order to stick a piece of evidence to a suspect, you must have a larger evidence number than the suspect’s resource number. This can also be accomplished by using multiple pieces of evidence per resource. Once the group has attached enough evidence to each of the suspect’s resources, that case is closed! The goal is to solve all the cases without running out of evidence cards. Unlike many other crime-solving games, this game can be replayed many times due to the random nature of the cards. ~ Kathryn
