About the game
Card Game version of classic deductive reasoning game. Players look to collect enough evidence to get witnesses to give up their information about the guilty suspect. When you've got enough leverage against one of the four witnesses, they'll turn States Evidence and tell you one fact about the criminal (hair color, eye color, facial hair or glasses). Piece all the evidence together and you’ll know who did it. When you think you have enough information, you can accuse one of the suspects from the wanted poster. If you're correct, you're promoted to Chief of Police and win, but if you're wrong, you'll be stuck behind a desk for the rest of your career.
