About the game
In your hands you have an investigative case that you can play alone or with friends. It takes little space, a bit of time and a lot of ingenuity. But remember, one case leads to another! Six chapters for six compact boxes to carry with you in every situation: the box itself contains the rules of the game, and along with the deck of cards contained in it, it will be enough to get all the clues necessary to the resolution! Mini Crimes is a cooperative investigative game in which you'll put your observation and deduction skills to the test to solve a mysterious case. You'll analyse a crime scene and up to 10 clues. Choose carefully and solve the mystery! In 'Mini Crimes: Il Matto Affogato' ("Mini Crimes: The Drowned King"), the famous Italian chess champion Marco Maccarone is found dead in the bathtub of his hotel room in Berlin. It's the eve of his match at the world chess championship. Was it an accident or...? -description from publisher
