Detective: Season One – the biggest game of this year from Portal Games game design studio

Season One is a stand-alone co-op investigation game, in which you're trying to solve the mysterious murder cases. You don't need a Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game to play our new title. It contains 3 separate cases 24 cards each, which will take you less time to solve and have a lower entry-level. Look what reviewers have to say about it!

▪ I can recommend this as an entry point for those who have never played Detective before.
▪ If you have done the previous game, you'll find this easier, but it still requires you to think, you can't go on autopilot.
▪ The theme is super strong. You're reading it, you're getting into this story, it feels like a proper CSI episode.
Luke Hector, The Broken Meeple
▪ The individual cases can be played with different groups and I love that about this, that's the biggest strength of this.
▪ The database is pretty cool because it has interesting ways of using certain media.
TheGameBoyGeek
▪ This game is fantastic. I think they took the Detective brand and just made it even better with these new cases. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who loves solving cases/puzzles. It is definitely a game to look into!

us newsletter
 

Hello Portal Games Fans!

Troglodytes army for Neuroshima Hex! 3.0 is in shops. Also, we are very proud to present our latest app for iOS Apple Store and Google Play Store: Neuroshima Convoy card game.

You will get deluxe components: resin markers that look just fabulous! If you already own some components, you can order an empty box that will be available to purchase upon arrival.

This Saturday we celebrate something special. The Day of Moloch is an amazing opportunity to get to know the world of Neuroshima better, get some discounts in our online store, and hear the news about upcoming games!

Neuroshima is a post-apocalyptic role-playing game, similar to Mad Max or Fallout, where people fight against machines in the hostile environment after the nuclear war. Moloch, a self-aware computer program launched a cybernetic attack and led to a machine revolt on September 5, 2020. That is why we celebrate The Day of Moloch today. We announce the premieres and new releases of Portal Games titles set in the Neuroshima universe.

We will start the English part of The Day of Moloch with a number of announcements. It will be especially interesting for our Neuroshima fans because of the latest premiere of the Neuroshima Hex 3.0 Troglodytes expansion.

Troglodytes is the latest expansion to Neuroshima Hex! 3.0 and it's already in shipping. The advantage of the Troglodytes deck is the ability to adapt units to the situation on the board. Cannibalizing your own units enables you to immediately get an additional bonus–the Satiety marker.
