Description

Every crime has a Suspect, Site, Motive and Method. Your job is to find these 4 pieces of Evidence and Link them together to complete a Case before your rivals.

Criminal Link is a noir detective themed rummy-type card game.

On your turn, you can

  • Search for links by drawing cards

  • Play cards onto your Evidence Board to build a Chain of Reasoning.

  • Discard cards that no longer fit your Case (be careful what you Discard: other players might use them to build their own Cases).

  • Take cards from other player’s Evidence Boards.

The first to finish a Case can score extra points by telling the story of the crime.

Great game, gorgeous artwork and a perfect size to pack for a holiday play. Even better my 15 year old son ( avid game player), myself and my husband ( not really a big gamer ) and I all enjoy playing...
