About the game
Story-based crime card game: Crack a tricky case in a soccer stadium. The cooperative, story-based crime card games "Crime Story" are part of the new detective game series from Noris. They revolve around tricky cases in the 3 different cities Berlin, Munich and Vienna. A mysterious virus forces half the team of a football club to their knees - and that right before the most important game of the decade! This cannot be a coincidence. What happened? And above all - who was it that was after one player or even the whole team? In 60 minutes, the players try to find out together what happened and who committed the crime. They decide which traces they want to follow and which they do not want to consider. Clues must be interpreted correctly and secrets must be uncovered.
