В Detective: The Modern Crime Board Game вам предстоит расследовать пять разных дел и узнать, что их связывает. Вы сломаете «четвёртую стену» (воображаемую стену между игроком и вымышленным миром игры, её персонажами), используя все подходящие ресурсы, воспользуетесь он-лайн базой данных агентства; войдёте в городской лабиринт старых тайн и новых преступлений в сотрудничестве с другими агентами или самостоятельно. Возьмите на себя работу настоящего современного детектива! В настольной игре от 1 до 5 участников будут играть роль следователей Национального агентства «Антарес» и использовать виртуальную специализированную базу данных, чтобы раскрыть загадочные преступления. Вы погрузитесь в захватывающие истории и станете их героями. Будем надеяться, что вы сможете дойти до конца, прежде чем совершится ещё одно преступление... В игре вы найдёте пять разных дел, которые нужно расследовать по порядку. Поначалу вы не обнаружите между ними связи, но постепенно они будут объединены захватывающим сюжетом, основанным на фактах и литературных источниках. Классический, основанный на карточках геймплей с головоломками выходит на уровень XXI века за счет использования онлайн-элементов. Вы получите он-лайн-доступ к базе данных «Антарес», которая содержит данные о подозреваемых и свидетелях, документацию по арестам и судебным разбирательствам, связанным с вашим делом. Используйте все имеющиеся в вашем распоряжении инструменты для раскрытия этих преступлений: ищите информацию в интернете, проверяйте факты и находите новые подсказки. Вы не играете в детектива, вы и есть детектив!

I just played the first game and I did not like it vey much. Mechanisms are fine. Probably I did not like it because of the story: just guessing a sequence of events related to war. I am not sure whether I will continue playing it, currently I do not feel like it. I was expecting a “modern” story, but this is related to old events coming from world war. This should be warned in the box, since I think “the modern crime” label in the box is completely misleading and not everyone likes war stories.

Very interesting gameplay and use of online database. This game gives a feel of being a real life detective. Final Scoring system is fantastic and questions findings of the investigation. Very difficult to get perfect score and find all evidences. Game requires lots of planning, reading and conversing, just like being a detective. So not recommended for passive players as people not involved fully may get bored. Not recommended for kids below the age of 12. Older players will enjoy it more. Intuitive skills will be a great asset to determine the way ahead in each lead. But logic is the only way out to close the lead. Good luck playing the great game.
