Board Game - Detective Chronicles: Secrets of the Sands
Archaeology can be fascinating, but at the same time, it is often associated with risks and dangers. This is especially relevant in the case of discovering an ancient tomb, which has been cursed by the pharaoh. Thus, a group of adventurers exploring the ancient ruins in El-Menaire faced a harsh fate: valuable artifacts were stolen, one expedition member was injured, and another disappeared without a trace in the endless sands. However, questions arise: did everything happen as their expedition leader describes? Who is behind the disappearance of the relics and the person from their team? Or perhaps it is just a well-planned farce designed to mislead?
You will take on the role of a detective to gather and analyze key evidence, unravel this convoluted story, and establish the truth of the events that took place. Is there a real tragedy behind them, or is it merely a clever staging?
About the Game
"Detective Chronicles: The Flemish Testament" is a collaborative investigation game that tells the story of a crime that has occurred. Players must work together to solve the mysterious case. They play their cards to share information, discard cards that they believe will lead them off track, discuss the evidence found, formulate hypotheses and conclusions to find a solution!
How to Play?
The investigation card deck is placed in the center of the game table. The cards in the deck cannot be shuffled or peeked at; the game begins with the top card. Read the text on the first card. At the start of the game, participants will assemble a three-dimensional crime scene from the box, and then the game will guide you on what to do next and in what order.
On their turn, players either play a card from their hand face up on the table, sharing information about it, or discard a card from their hand into the archive, not discussing it until the end of the investigation. Each card has a value from 1 to 10 in the upper left corner. A card can be played face up on the table only if its value is equal to or less than the current number of cards in the archive.
Game duration: up to 60 minutes
Number of players: from 1 to 6
