Detective

Detective, a modern investigative game

Detective is a cooperative game of deduction. The players together play as an Antares Agency investigator with his own ability and skills. During a game, you will have to act like a real detective to know how to gather information and collect clues in order to solve a case.
The game is accompanied by an interactive website, a database, which can be accessed on ANTARESDATABASE.COM, where you will find, for example, witness reports, interrogations or personal data of the characters.

Detective, a cooperative investigative game

Detective is a cooperative game where players work as a team to solve an investigation. Skill, Stress or Authority tokens are shared by all players and are grouped into a common token reserve. Participants play, win and lose together.
Detective, a game divided into the campaign

Detective is played in different campaigns.

The game has a total of 5 separate cases, but which are connected to each other by a larger narrative plot. Some clues collected in one survey may be useful in another case. Pay attention to every clue.
Each survey is represented in the form of a pack of 36 cards: 1 cover card and 35 Track cards. When dealing with a case, you should not consult or mix this package. Just let yourself be guided by the game.

Detective, a game where time counts

Detective wishes to capture all the sensations of an investigation by getting as close as possible to reality, with its advantages and constraints.
To solve your survey, you will have a limited number of days, to collect as many clues as possible.
Each day is divided into 8 hours of work that you will spend doing your actions.

Detective, the course of a day

In Detective, there is no player-specific trick. You will need to constantly work together to find out what actions will be taken collectively. During a day, you will be asked to:

• Follow a Trail
• Deepen
• Browse the Antares database
• Search the Internet
• Write a report
• Using an investigator's ability
• Pay Authority tokens to perform actions shown on a card
• To carry out another action, defined by the introduction of the case or by a specific map

Detective, the points count

At the end of the game, when the number of days is exhausted, you will have to answer a series of questions from the final report to earn victory points. Points you get depend on your win or defeat.
