   Fantastic. I love pretty much any kind of adventure or story based solo board game, so this was a no-brainer. Very complex, and DEEP in it’s play, but in the GOOD way that keeps you immersed in bits and pieces for a long time. The rules are complex if you’ve never dipped into this kind of “indy game” world, adventure board games, tabletop RPGs, etc. …but they’re do-able with a little careful reading. If I could afford the expansions, I’d already have them. Recommended if the theme appeals and you like some depth to your games. GIDDYUP.

   What’s good about this game is that it could be played solo to enjoy the experience and then It could be played with the knowledgeable player as the chisel with more people so at least double the chance of playing. Great game.

   My husband and I got this to play in the cooperative rather than competitive modes. It works well for that, for the most part, though we found that moving around the board became cumbersome without the competitive layer/need. On the plus side, the extensive detective books keep the cases engaging for one- or two-player modes without feeling like there’s too much missed. The board, artwork, and all components are impressive quality. The game rules are multi-faceted and look like they’d be fun with a larger group, though we have no way to test that. We did feel that the game was tricky to learn, and the rules were quite unclear in parts. It’s possible with a few more read-throughs of the extensive instruction manual, we’ll pick up more details that we missed initially, but the fact we have to reference back to so many pages and other books to piece things together is frustrating. I would’ve preferred a different manual for each mode that repeats information than having to try to puzzle together the information I needed and potentially overlook something important. All-in-all, it’s a good game. With a change in how things are presented, it could be great, but it’s not there yet.

   There’s a lot of fun elements to the interactions in the game, the lying suspects mechanism is very well-designed, and the writing is good. I have played sherlock: consulting detective and a bit of watson and holmes. This is a bit different than those – the stories are more about twists and less about details and rabbit holes of red herrings. Very happy with the purchase!

   This boardgame is my nr1 favorite boardgame! It’s exciting, fun and engaging! Love that every case feels so,different and adding new addition to the mechanics. Solo, coop or competitive, every mode feels very exciting from start to end. The best mode is classic mode where someone plays as the Chisel against the detectives.

   We have only played one of the game options so far, but it was suspenseful and fun. Very interactive.

   When you play with more than one player, the Chisel can be used to throw off the true detectives who want to solve the case. An interesting dynamic that has been used before in board games such as Shadows over Camelot and others. This is an elaborate game. The playing time is listed as up to 150 minutes for a possible minimum. This could take a while. The board is detailed and the playing pieces of high quality. If mystery solving with some possible deception is up your alley, try this game.
