There is also a spot for the add-on Virtual Reality Module, which I am including in this review. I am a big fan of games that provide sensible component storage, and Chronicles of Crime even provides ample room for additional expansion cards and boards (and even possibly dice?). All of these components are very nicely organized in a plastic tray in the box, and the cards are stored under a clear plastic lid so that they stay in place. Chronicles of Crime by Lucky Duck Games solves this by offloading the narrative and key aspects of gameplay onto a mobile app, an approach that works surprisingly well even after the novelty of it wears off.īefore we get to the app, though, let’s talk about what’s in the box (you can also watch this video): The core set comes with a very thin rulebook, 40 character cards, 35 evidence category cards, 10 special item cards, 4 forensic contact boards, 12 location boards, and 1 thick evidence board, which is the centerpiece where all the other cards and boards are placed during play. When it comes to the table, however, crime solving games typically struggle to balance game mechanics with maintaining narrative tension.
Dragnet, Columbo, Law and Order, CSI- the genre has been a dominant force on the television for decades, and few can resist the modern whodunit. Very few genres of film and television are more consistently popular than procedural crime dramas.
