There are a number of cases in the game: each case is made up of a number of cards. They are all fine quality with black and white art just like the map. The map looks very cool all unfolded on the table!!! It’s huge! I included a coke can to the left for a sense of scale. It also has the same fold-up problem that most maps have. It really is a old-school map with letters along the bottom and numbers on the edge for cross-referencing locations in the city. It’s huge! We’ll see it folded out below. Notice all the different languages! The main game map itself is pretty much language independent: the cards will have to be in the language of interest. Between the cards and the map itself, you don’t want to look at anything too closely for fear of ruining a later game. The first thing you see when you open the box is a leaflet saying “Warning Spoiler Alert!”. There’s not a lot of components for MicroMacro: Crime City. Luckily, expansions have been announced, so if you love this game, there will be further content. There are a limited number of cases in the game, so once you solve them, you are done with the game. This is very much a limited life detective game like Detective: City of Angels (or many detective games, see our Top 10 Cooperative Detective Games). It’s s detective type game, where you are trying to notice small things (micro) in the large city (macro). Luckily, MicroMacro: Crime City is more of a game. Where’s Waldo is really more of an activity: “look at this picture and see if you can find something”. If you don’t know what Where’s Waldo is, (I believe it’s called Where’s Wally in the UK), it’s a book of intricate pictures where you are looking to find the character Waldo. MicroMacro: Crime City is a combination of something like Where’s Waldo (see below) meets Detective: City of Angels. Because of it’s “award winning status”, this game has been impossible to find! I just happened to find it at my local gamestore a few weeks ago (“Oh, we just got that in stock!”), and picked it up. MicroMacro: Crime City is a cooperative game from Germany for 1-4 Players that recently won the Spiel Des Jahres Award for 2021! This is a lighter game for 12+. “I Know The Se… on Top 10 Creepy/Spooky Cooperati… Resolving Ambiguity in Cooperative Games June 11, 2022Ī Mini-Review of The… on Saunders’ Law: All Coope…Ī Mini-Review of The… on “I Know The Secret of Mo…Ī Review of The Hori… on Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion.…Ī Review of The Hori… on Saunders’ Law: All Coope….A Mini-Review of Echoes: The Microchip June 18, 2022.A Review of Batman The Animated Series: Shadow of the Bat (Cooperative Mode Only) June 25, 2022.
