DEADCERT: London

A detective card game set in London during the first half of 2015, combining real locations and historical facts with fictional characters and cases. Each murder episode is defined by a victim, crime scene and time of death, creating 125 possible scenarios. Players use deductive and abductive reasoning to reduce a field of 37 suspects to the one person with motive, means and opportunity, while identifying the evidence needed to support the solution. The game supports open, covert and solo play, along with career, group and cooperative variants. It includes 300 cards, a detective guide, checklist pad and evidence bags. Additional evidence packs can expand the number of possible cases. Suitable for ages 15 and over due to the detail of the crimes.
