This is a fun and easy to play game which sees one player be X, while the others try to catch them. It's good even with two players, as while one person is X, the other has multiple detectives at their disposal to move around the board. We played it multiple times and do think there are some flaws with the rules (it's fairly heavily weighted towards X succeeding), but it was still a good rental choice for us.
