Pocket Detective: Die Bombe tickt

Players work together to investigate a bomb discovered at a chemical plant while a hurricane cuts off their small town. They search for clues, identify the criminals, and try to save the town. The investigation unfolds through a deck of cards that provides locations, evidence, and choices. A separate progress deck tracks the time and danger caused by actions, leading the case toward its conclusion. The game uses no standard clock icons and requires no setup beyond drawing from the deck without shuffling.
