Crime Master
Tatort: Grossstadt
25 cases set in a metropolis surrounding wait to be cleared up – ranging from substitution of a puppet in a puppet theatre to drug misuse, damage of property or a bomb attack. One player is the Crime Master, the remaining players are detectives and decide on team work or individual investigation. One player draws a case and names all facts on the card and the details that need to be investigated; the back side of the card shows a sketch of the crime scene in which the relevant clues are marked. The Crime Master takes the card “Solution of the Case”, on which the details that must be investigated and found out as regards to culprit, motive, means employed and course of events are clearly marked in different colors. The investigators in turn pose questions, which the Crime Master answers with yes or no only. Each detective can continue to ask until he gets a “no” for an answer. If you name a correct detail, you score a point. When the investigators cannot think of more questions or when 12 points – the maximum possible number of points for all clues stated correctly – have been awarded, you win with the most points.
In team mode all detectives can ask questions in no given order and also consult before asking more questions. There is only a score for the team – 12 points mean masterly investigation, true Crime Masters; 10-11 points is still excellent work; 7-9 points are solid work, 4-6 points indicate work that can be improved and 0-3 points unmask absolute beginners.
Deduction at its best and thrilling entertainment; the game works well in large groups and in team mode as well as with fewer players or in the individual mode.
