This February you can solve crimes and take on the roles of favorite New York investigators Castle and Beckett in the Castle: The Detective Card Game. It comes from Cryptozoic Entertainment, who are no strangers to adapting TV properties into fun games. Their past titles include The Big Bang Theory Party Game and The Walking Dead Board Game.

Last year at PAX East, I was introduced to Cryptozoic’s Food Fight card game, which is also a lot of fun. I love being able to play this on my iPad and iPhone, and so I hope this Castle game will also find it’s way onto iOS in the future.

There’s been a murder, and the stars of ABC’s Castle are on the case! In this easy-to-play murder mystery card game, 2–5 players will play as their favorite characters from the show as they collect and use investigation cards to narrow down the suspects until they discover who’s guilty!

Castle: The Detective Card Game offers two ways to play. You can play a single game, which simulates a single episode from the show, or you can play a whole season. If you play a single episode, whoever finds the killer wins the game. If you play a season match, you play multiple games until one of the players has won three games. Do you have what it takes to make a great detective?
