Description

There's been a murder in Storybook Land! A Goodie has gone bad and it's up to you to swap, steal or search for the evidence, seek out the suspects and catch the culprit in order to scupper the other sleuths, and win this game of murder! Let's just hope your case doesn't go cold before revealing your solution (dramatically, of course) and catching the culprit! Case closed!

There’s more than one way to catch a killer though. So what’s it gonna be? Good Cop or Bad Cop? If you’re playing Good Cop you’re chasing down a specific killer, whereas Bad Cop you'll have to successfully frame any one of the eight suspects in order to win. Each way to play comes with its own set of rules and tactics, but will you use fair play or foul play? There's 8 new suspects but which of these fairy-tale felons committed the crime?

We've kept the same design for the backs of the cards as the 1st edition of the game. This means that you can combine decks, swap the special action cards around and even try and solve two murders at the same time! Want to separate the decks back again when you've finished? Don't panic - the font used for the titles on each action card is different to the original, helping you to tell which card belongs to what game!
