Mini Crimes: Homicide in Cold Blood (2022)

About this game

In your hands you have an investigative case that you can play alone or with friends. It takes little space, a bit of time and a lot of ingenuity. But remember, one case leads to another! Six chapters for six compact boxes to carry with you in every situation: the box itself contains the rules of the game, and along with the deck of cards contained in it, it will be enough to get all the clues necessary to the resolution! Mini Crimes is a cooperative investigative game in which you'll put your observation and deduction skills to the test to solve a mysterious case. You'll analyse a crime scene and up to 10 clues. Choose carefully and solve the mystery! In 'Mini Crimes: Omicidio a sangue freddo' ("Mini Crimes: Homicide in cold blood"), take a trip through time in 1948 and investigate the mysterious death of James Stein, Curator of Snakes at the Zoological Society of London, who died under very suspicious circumstances. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 8. It has a designed solo mode.
• 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 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
