Description
The Pursuit of John Wilkes Booth drops you into the chaos of the American Civil War, where you and up to two friends take on the role of Union detectives hot on the trail of the infamous assassin. With 45 to 90 minutes to track down your target, you'll need to work together, using your wits and whatever clues you can scrounge up to outsmart Booth and bring him to justice. The game's hidden movement mechanics keep things exciting, as you're never quite sure where your quarry will pop up next, and the simulation gameplay challenges you to balance resources and make tough decisions on the fly. As a cooperative game, you'll need to collaborate to succeed, making it a great choice for board game fans who enjoy a good puzzle, and with its normal complexity rules, it's easy for players familiar with board games to jump right in and start playing.
