Description
In Detective, a group of 7 to 20 players take on roles that determine their unique abilities and powers, which they must use to unravel a mysterious murder. The game rules are straightforward and can be explained quickly, making it easy to dive in and start playing within minutes. As players try to figure out whodunit, they'll need to negotiate with each other and use their deduction skills to uncover the truth. The game's short 20-minute playtime means you can play multiple rounds, trying out different roles and strategies each time. With its simple rules and engaging gameplay, Detective is a great choice for large groups, and its print-and-play format makes it easy to get started. Released in 2009 and designed by Trey Chambers, this deduction game is all about solving the mystery through a combination of role-playing, voting, and clever negotiation.
