Published in 2004 by Specialty Board Games, Inc., CSI: The Board Game brings the investigative experience of the Emmy Award-winning TV series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to tabletops. Players work as a team to examine evidence and solve unusual crimes. The game includes eight murder cases written by Canadian crime writer Max Haines, known for his extensive research into murder mysteries since 1972. Each case has been reviewed by forensics experts for accuracy. The manufacturer recommends this game for ages 10 and up, though it may be more suitable for players aged 13 and older.
Things to Keep in MindMany reviewers found the rules confusing and poorly written, which contributed to a tedious and slow gameplay experience often characterized by excessive dice rolling. Common criticisms also included factual errors, inconsistencies in game content, and limited replayability due to a small number of unique cases. Why You'll Like ItSome players found the game enjoyable, appreciating its intriguing case narratives and educational content related to forensic science. The quality of the game board itself was also noted positively.
