Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine Game (1986)

About this game

From the box: The game is afoot! Now you can be the detective. You and your friends can solve the five challenging mysteries included in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine Game. Regular supplemental Casebooks will contain even more mysteries to solve.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 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.
