CHEW: Cases of the FDA (2015)

About this game

Description from the publisher: Based on the Eisner Award-winning comic series by John Layman and Rob Guillory, CHEW: Cases of the FDA seats 2-5 players and is playable in about 30 minutes. Players compete to close cases pulled directly from the pages of the ongoing comic book. They'll enlist partners like John Colby, Amelia Mintz, and even Buttercup the lion, while simultaneously sending fiendish villains and cultists out to sabotage their rivals' investigations.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
