Premiere of the year from Portal Games – Detective: Season 1!

The long-awaited Detective: Season 1 premiere is coming this week

This week, on Thursday, September 17, we are waiting for the highly-expected premiere of the game Detective: Season 1. This is the most important title of this year from Portal Games, by Ignacy Trzewiczek, Marzena Nowak-Trzewiczek, and Weronika Spyra.

Season One is a fully standalone game from the Detective series, in which players work together to solve three mysterious crimes. Detective: Season 1 is a set of 3 separate cases that can be solved in any order. Each of the investigations is set in a different place and time, they do not form a campaign. The rules are more simplified than in the original game.

What makes Detective: Season 1 stand out:

▪	People who didn't play Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game can successfully reach for Season One as the entry title to the Detective series

▪	Fans of the Detective will find three new, engaging cases in the box.

▪	Investigations are short, each takes 90-120 minutes

▪	Season 1 is simpler than Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game: there is one timeline (not divided into investigation days) and one type of skill token

▪	The Investigators' characters have unique characteristics and division of roles in the game

▪	There are 24 portraits of suspects in the box. You can pin them to a corkboard and connect them with red yarn to create a network of criminal connections

▪	We have put new types of material on the Antares website which will involve you in the case even more

▪	Detective games, including Season 1, can be played online

Only in pre-sale through the Portal Games store, we include the Designer's Journal by Ignacy Trzewiczek. In 80-pages, hardcovered book, he describes the process of creating the game and changes that have occurred in the plot, discusses individual cards, and reveals unused plot ideas. This is a one-of-a-kind gift, perfect for fans of Portal and the Detective series.
