Crime. It’s all over the city. And it’s up to the intrepid detectives to solve the cases. Fame will come for the one that solves the most dangerous, high-profile cases. Who will become the most famous gumshoe of all? That’s up to you to decide in Detective Rummy, a new card game available from WizKids.
From the website:
Detective Rummy is a Rummy-style card game for 2 to 4 players, with a storytelling element revealed in a series of 7 different cases. Players take the roles of Detectives vying to solve the cases and gain fame.
Immersive noir setting: The story begins at the legendary Rummy Detective Agency, and each case takes you to various locations to solve a crime, including the diner with the best doughnuts in town, the cozy Quarter to 3 Bar, a ritzy fashion emporium, the circus, the most elite jazz nightclub in town, and more!
Campaign and Standalone modes: The cases in Detective Rummy can be played in two different ways: Campaign Mode and Case Mode. In Campaign Mode, you play all 7 cases in order. In Case Mode, you can play Cases 2 to 6 as standalone Detective Rummy games one at a time.
Play it again and again: Since there are new Game Changer cards in each case that are discovered in different orders (if at all) each time you play, cases will never resolve the same way twice. You can play both the campaign mode or the individual cases as many times as you like!
Packed with gameplay, and using classic mechanics at its core, Detective Rummy will have you racing to crack the case!
