Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game Review by Co-op Board Games

What is Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game?

In Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game, you and your fellow detectives attempt to solve five cases by following leads and using your investigation agency’s database. Detective is published by Portal Games and was designed by Ignacy Trzewiczek, Przemysław Rymer, and Jakub Łapot.

You’ll have a specific number of days to solve each case in Detective. Work days are usually from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but you can work overtime at the cost of one Stress token per hour. The casebook will tell you exactly how many days you have and your stress limit for each case. If you reach your stress limit, the case ends immediately and you’ll have to turn in your final report.
