   Absolutely appalling. The designers did not understand how the Detective system worked. They go for a few fun surprises at the expense of the core game system. You will basically see every card in the whole deck yet despite this, will have a much less clear picture of what is going on than in an original case where you only get to see half the deck. There isn't even an explanation of the events at the end. It merely asks you the questions and then tells you your score. As a game it is a big meh: maybe a 4 or 5 star. It gets a 1 star however in the BGG system as it "defies the game description" of a Detective game. Even the instructions are slightly unclear. Nothing game breaking but it isn't a big or complex design. Proof read and play-test your stuff!!!

   Petty Officers is a single case expansion of Modern Detective. As a mystery/deduction game, it relies on not knowing what to expect, so I have to be general in statements about it. I don't regret buying it for full retail. My group enjoyed playing it. It offers some interesting twists in the mechanics from Modern Detective and a reasonable story behind the case. I liked the original Modern Detective the most out of all of the versions that have come out. If provides a entertainment value equal to watching a sequel movie with a couple of hours of play time. A solid performer, but not outstanding.
