Get ready to put your puzzle-solving skills to the test with Return of Doctor Esker's Notebook, a cooperative game that's perfect for playing with friends and family, or even flying solo. This base game, designed by David Dobson and published in 2023, is all about cracking the cryptic codes left behind by the mysterious Doctor Esker. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be diving into the action in no time, working together to solve ten devious puzzles that will put your deduction and word game skills to the test. As you play through the game, which can take anywhere from 60 to 180 minutes, you'll be using a deck of cards to solve each puzzle, reading, comparing, arranging, and pondering the messages, drawings, and artwork on the cards to reveal a sequence of numbers. When you think you've got it, gather the solution cards corresponding to the number sequence and flip them - if you see a message or image, you've solved the puzzle. With its unique blend of card game, deduction, puzzle, and word game elements, Return of Doctor Esker's Notebook is a great choice for a party, game night, or lazy afternoon, and with its cooperative gameplay, you can work together with up to 6 players to earn Doctor Esker's greatest praise.
