About the Game

"We received a call for a homicide in the center of Athens! After an exchange of gunfire, a man fell dead! The perpetrator of the murder fled the scene of the crime and his traces are missing! Start immediately!! The next 24 hours are critical! With each passing hour, it will become more and more difficult to catch him!"

Traces is an asymmetric cooperative game of inductive logic and tactical choices, in which players are divided into 2 teams: the Killer and the Police. The Killer tries to buy time to escape, while the Police cooperate, doing everything in their power to arrest him and bring him to justice! To play Traces, turn on the Electronic Buzzer by moving the switch on the bottom of the device, from the off position, to the M1 or M2 position.

M1: Electronic Game Expert The Electronic Game Expert is an interactive narrator who teaches you the game, while you play! So, you can play Traces directly, simply by turning on the buzzer, saving you the hassle of reading the rules!

M2: Traces - Game Setup Place the city map in the middle of the table. Decide which player will be the Murderer and give him the Murderer Board, the Crime Timeline and the 5 Special Move Markers. Deal the Police Character Cards to the other players, along with the pawns of the corresponding color. If there are fewer than 4 Police Officers, they must share the Police Characters among themselves. Leave the remaining markers aside so you can use them when you need them. The Police Officers must place the Crime marker in the area indicated by the Murderer and then, one by one, place their pawns in any Police Station they want. More than one Police Officer can be in the same Police Station at the same time.
