Checkpoint Charlie

Players act as investigators in a Cold War–era spy hunt using cartoonized dogs and cats as suspects. Each player receives a private clue that reveals one of five possible traits of the chief of spies and progressively reveals character cards to mark suspects or cleared individuals. Players use observation and deduction to combine clues and narrow the field: the chief matches all five traits while aides match four. Players score points by correctly accusing the chief or aides, with incorrect accusations risking no points or penalties. Two optional rules add further strategic choices.

1 partida en Jesta 2017. Tienes que deducir las características del gato jefe de espías para acusarlo o, si no es posible, acusar a uno que cumpla muchas de las 5 características posibles (lleva gafas, usa sombrero, es naranja o gris, tiene un periódico o usa gabardina). Cada jugador sabrá una característica e irá, por orden de turno, diciendo si el gato que roba del mazo cumple la característica que él sabe o no. Juego muy bien conseguido de agilidad deductiva.
