I can’t stress this next step enough….watch their instructional video on how to play this game! This game is a little tricky the first time you play it and watching this video helped my whole family out when it came time for us to play the first time.
Now it is time for you Gumshoes to play. The ultimate goal is to find Carmen Sandiego and one loot-location set that is in a particular spot. You do that by taking turns rolling the dice and eliminating as many Loot, Location, and Henchman Cards as possible.
Just like any good detective, you must be vigilant in collecting evidence to solve this mystery by taking good notes in your Top-Secret Evidence Journal.
If you do not know where Carmen is but you think you?ve discovered matching Loot and Location Cards, call out ?I have a warrant!?and you will then reveal those cards to win yourself a card to be placed in the top spot.
Once you zero in on Carmen’s location, you must declare ?I have a warrant for Carmen’s arrest.? The first Gumshoe to make her Loot-Location match and successfully reveal Carmen wins the game. But beware, if you make an incorrect accusation, Carmen can escape!
This game is listed for ages 8+ and that felt very accurate. Big Sis at 9 could play by herself but Lil Sis is 6 and I put her with me as we made our own little “team.” This was a perfect game to play as a family and I LOVE bringing back characters from my childhood. It is not easy so this is a game that really makes you put on your thinking cap. Can you Catch Carmen? The search is on with the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? card game, available exclusively at Target.
