This dude is like the Bob Ross of board games

[nakorbluerider]

I have to say, the idea of giving the players permission to look up info on the internet about various real-world topics and people related to the in-game case is a really nice touch.

I also appreciate the idea of a game that's legacy-like, in that it's really designed to be played through once from start to finish, but doesn't actually destroy or ruin anything in the box preventing it from being played again should someone wish to do so.

[seanhill]

I have to agree, Rodney is always in a great mood, always positive and that makes these videos even more enjoyable to watch

[Traumtheater]

It is worth noting that unlike many other Games from Portal and Ignacy, the rules are really super simple!

[FrankMinogue]

As a frustrated detective, this is definitely going into the game

[TomMannCenturia]

Really don't know why these videos always pick up 6 or 7 thumbs down straight away. They're just really good, clear, play throughs and rules explanations and I only wish the channel covered all the games I own! Really nothing I can see that would merit a thumbs down. Ah well, that's the internet I suppose. All the best.

[PL-vqtv]

WOW....game looks outstanding. The run through was great!! Thanks!

[johnnyli]

got the game yesterday, now I'm super excited

[famor]

Thank you for your awesome videos, your advices and explanations are always on point. Because of it, I will never have to read another rule booklet! Keep up the good work!

[MrMultiPat]

This looks really interesting. I'll have to show your video to my group of friends and see if they'd want to play it.

[BrianWLenz]

Ignacy will be teaching Detective at GrandCon Gaming Convention. We are very excited for this game. Thank you for the wonderful play through instruction, Rodney!

[WynneL]

My partner and I are playing through this game right now, and it's amazing!

[peteshirey]

Just got my copy in this week! excited to play!!

[lastcall]

As always, a perfectly structured and very well explained walkthrough of the game. Thank you for this, Sir! ;)

[citruunaw]

You are just amazing, thanks once more! Just realized you're the only person in the world who doesn't have Rodney to help explaining game rules when picking up new games, but for the rest of us you're a big timesaver

[danewiskow]

Just got the game today! Really excited to play! I was worried about the replay value since it has 5 cases, but each case has more than one path to solve and hopefully more cases will be published. Great addition to my collection of mystery games, along with Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective.

[damienleigh]

Good to see you Rodney. Its been a while but im keen to play this.

[bryanjamesilaga]

This guy explains the gameplay very well!

[moramento]

Very interesting that the game uses modern technology in the game

[RetroChampion]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it and explain this game!
