Well, who did? Use evidence cards to finger your opponents. A fun card game that needs a bit of thinking.
The question is Who Stole Ed's Pants? - or trousers, as we say in English. The aim of the game is less to find out who actually carried out this heinous crime, than to make sure you don't get blamed for it. So you establish the 'facts' of the crime - Who, When and Where - to fit your opponents.
This game is great fun. But it's also something of a challenge. You need careful planning - and a bit of luck - to win. With four players, it's played as a partnership game, which brings different challenges.
Game Overview
Players spend much of the game planting Evidence Cards on each other -- things like where people were seen yesterday, what they look like, and when they were unaccounted for. Your goal is to change the case facts so that the evidence on everyone else is incriminating, while the evidence on you is not. For example, if the case fact says the thief is believed to own bizarre footwear, you want to be sure that the Inflatable Rodeo Clown Shoes card ends up on someone else.
Cards are played by having credible witnesses back up your story -- people from around town like the Pool Guy, the Head Librarian, and the Human Cannonball. However, their credibility can change during the game too, and players must make sure they have good allies at all times
