Type: Murder mystery board game with collaborative elements
DETECTIVES NEEDED! A secret agent working for the mysterious S.P.Y. Agency has been killed, and there’s been a worldwide cover-up. Each player only has part of the mystery, so you’ll have to share info with your fellow detectives in order to gather more evidence. Careful — share too much, and they’ll figure it out before you. Each shuffle of the cards is a new game with its own solution. Surely one of these games is the true solution to the crime… right?
