Lie Detector: The Crime Solving Card Game (2006)

About this game

Card Game version of classic deductive reasoning game. Players look to collect enough evidence to get witnesses to give up their information about the guilty suspect. When you've got enough leverage against one of the four witnesses, they'll turn States Evidence and tell you one fact about the criminal (hair color, eye color, facial hair or glasses). Piece all the evidence together and you’ll know who did it. When you think you have enough information, you can accuse one of the suspects from the wanted poster. If you're correct, you're promoted to Chief of Police and win, but if you're wrong, you'll be stuck behind a desk for the rest of your career.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• 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 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
