Inspector Nose – Solve Every Case Together 🔎🎲

Inspector Nose is a cooperative deduction game by Reinhard Staupe, published by NSV. One player becomes Inspector Nose and silently guides the team to the right picture card with symbol dice – for 2 to 5 players aged 7+.

Five picture cards are laid out in a row next to the clue card. Inspector Nose secretly draws a number card, which tells them which of the five pictures the team is looking for. Then they roll the dice and place one die with a fitting symbol on the clue card – without saying a word or giving any hints with gestures or looks. A rocket, for example, could mean fast, flying, high, technology or fire. The team now discusses what the clue might mean and removes one picture that does not fit. Every correctly removed card earns a point. After four clues, ideally only the wanted picture is left. But if the team removes the wanted card, the round ends at once. You play five rounds and add up your points together – 20 points is the maximum and makes you master detectives. The game trains giving clues, interpreting them, thinking around corners and combining ideas, and since everyone is on the same team, talking it through is half the fun. A round takes about 20 minutes.
