About the game
Ever watched a noir film and thought you could solve the mystery before the credits roll? That's exactly the vibe Mini Crimes: Family Matters brings, but in a super compact and practical way. You don't need a massive table or hours of setup; this game is so minimalist that the box itself acts as the rulebook, and all you need to investigate are the cards inside. It's the perfect solution for those who want to be a pocket detective, whether playing solo in a cafe or during a quick gathering with friends.

In this edition, the atmosphere of family suspense is in the air. The case involves the mysterious death of Mrs. Bingley, widow of Lord Crawford. She was found dead in her study, appearing as if she were just sleeping, but something doesn't smell right. Was it just eternal rest or something more sinister? To solve this puzzle, you'll have to analyze the crime scene and examine up to ten different clues. The secret here is observation: every detail counts, and one wrong choice could lead you astray.

The game is cooperative, so you and your investigative partners must join forces to decipher what really happened. Best of all: the system is modular. The game is divided into chapters, meaning one investigation can lead to another, creating a sense of constant progression. If you enjoy deduction games that don't steal your time but do require you to connect all the dots, Mini Crimes is your new pocket companion. Get your mental magnifying glass ready and prepare to discover if what looks like peaceful sleep is actually a planned crime!
