Inspector Higgins (1988)

About this game

One player plays Kommissaris Speurneus/Inspector Higgins with the goal of capturing the thief carrying the treasure and as many other thieves as possible. The remaining players play cooperatively, in turn moving any of the five thief figures as they choose. The thieves' goal is to discover which of the nine houses on the game board contains the treasure and return the treasure to the thieves' hideout. Movement is based on die rolls, with the number and type of dice rolled changing depending on the total number of players in the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
