Detective Graves Against The Mastermind

In this two player deduction, trick-taking card game players take it in turns to play Detective Graves and the Mysterious Mastermind who is planning to commit the crime of the century. Detective Graves must uncover the clues that will lead to the elimination of suspects and reveal the identity of the mastermind behind the plot.

Game play takes place over five locations, players take it in turns to play cards from five different suits and after a certain number of turns in a location the player with the highest score wins, either providing a clue towards the identity of the Mastermind (points for the Detective Player) or resulting in that particular piece of evidence being lost forever (Points for the Mastermind player). Some cards may also be used for special abilities, but they often must be discarded to achieve this.

The game is played over two sets, each player taking one turn as Detective Graves and one as The Mastermind. Points are scored for collecting/protecting evidence and correctly deducing who the Mastermind is. The player with the highest score at the end of the two sets is the winner!
