Or maybe, you could even have to give up your case tracker, and swap this with all your notes so far with another player. The idea is to collect or eliminate enough pieces of evidence by asking questions, trading evidence cards and leading other players down the wrong path, to make an educated guess to who the killer is, where the murder happened, what weapon was used to commit the murder and what the motive was. Can you piece together the evidence to figure out who did it, how they did it, and most importantly, why?

With evidence cards to help you piece together the clues, this game is sure to provide plenty of fun and intrigue.And you can solve a different crime, with the same victim, every time you play and have a different outcome. Every card has a printed value from one to three, and you can say the total of the numbers on the cards you wish to offer up for auction.

How to Play Starting with the youngest player, all players will now mark off on their own sheet the cards they just received, as they know they are not the ones inside the folder.

When that rulebook is complicated, or long, it can be a bit of a chore to learn the game and teach everyone else.I once played a game of chess with my partner - the first time either of us had played since childhood - which devolved to two kings chasing one another round the board. Be the first detective to solve this crime by correctly naming the suspect, weapon, motive, and location of Casey’s murder and bring the killer to justice! Please note: a signature is required for most deliveries so please choose an address where someone is in.

It would have been interesting if the game had come with a number of different cases from the podcast, and you can chose a random one each game to try and solve. Hi, I was recently in Wal-Mart when I saw the Casefile board game (along with Hunt-a-killer) and I decided to get it for family game night. The victim is always the same, but the final answer changes each time that you play as cards are selected at random, with 44 cards, there are near infinite possibilities.Features 44 beautifully unique illustrations of game elements, and includes dry-erase boards and markers to easily track your evidence! Put yourself in the detective’s shoes and trade evidence with other players to get closer to the truth. in point: Case File, a game entirely revolving around bluffing and hidden information, does not tell you if you discard cards face down or face up, and such a blunder is beyond belief. It removes the tedious die rolling and slow progress of moving from one room to another, and focuses purely on the deduction and deception.

Everything is done very professionally with this company and always lets you know every step of the process. But thankfully there is lots of evidence for the detectives (the players) to find and decipher to unmask the killer, bringing them to justice. Remember, this is a game of deception and one of the players may plant false evidence to throw you and the other detectives off track. I’m guilty, I’ll admit it: my time with Case File ended when I was driven to hazard a guess at the solution (which I only got wrong by one piece of the puzzle) just so I could be out of the game. They must say out loud the four pieces of evidences they think is in the folder, and then have a look to see if they are right.

WE SAT THERE LOST AT HOW THIS GAME IS SUPPOSED TO PLAYED BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE WE WERE JUST TRADING CARDS BACK AND FORTH AND ROLLING A DIE WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT WE WERE ACTUALLY DOING. At this point, the leading player can play one false evidence card if they choose, and then play moves to the right.
