Pocket Detective №2 (2020)

About this game

In the Pocket Detective game series, players take up investigations of different tangled cases and mysterious stories. Players are gathering clues, interrogating suspects, performing arrests and matching pieces of information to successfully solve the case. During each turn, a player chooses one of the cards available this turn. These cards can represent a Clue, a Location, Witness Interrogation, Special Action, Arrest of a Suspect etc. Using the cards, which were received during investigation, a player discovers what actually happened. The objective is to solve a case in a minimum number of turns. In 2nd case you will play as journalists. Every year you are aimed to a small town to make report about local festival. But this time you'll write about something rather more interesting...

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
