Detective: A Modern Crime Board

Pros:

• Does a great job of making players feel like detectives.
• All of the cases were written well. You can tell a lot of work went into them.
• Limited resources force you to make tough decisions.
• The game's website is fantastic.
• Easy to set up, allowing to get right into the game.
• Simple rules means it's very easy to learn how to play.

Cons:

• I don't like that every case comes down to answering multiple choice questions.
• The cases can be very long, and they can feel long.
• A lot of filler text on some cards.

Detective definitely does make players feel like detectives. It's certainly not my favorite detective game - Sherlock Holmes and Deadline are better, in my opinion - but it is quite a bit different than other games in the genre. If you like the idea of trying to solve interesting cases by using a very cool online database and team deductive skills, definitely check this one out.
