How it plays
Outfoxed! is a cooperative deduction game for kids. Someone has stolen Mrs. Plumpert's pot pie, and players work together to find out which of the fox suspects did it before the thief escapes.
On your turn you roll dice to either reveal suspects or move to collect clues. Clues go into a decoder device that shows whether the thief is wearing a certain item, so kids rule suspects out one by one. It's a great first detective game for children 5 and up.

- You want a game for adults only
