It's time to solve a murder case, with the help of a Lie Detector.
This is a game that's been around since the 60s, but it's been re-released from time to time.
I used to play it a lot as a kid.
Line up the suspects, like the Artist, the Musician, the Gambler,
the Secretary, the Psychic Reader, the Banker, and so on.
The object of the game is to be the first player to arrest the guilty suspect.
Of course, I'm the only player today, because, well...
You know.
Each character gives you a clue.
On each of your turns, you get to examine one of them to see if they're telling the truth or not.
[DING]
At the beginning of the game, you pick a guilty card at random and place it in the machine.
The back side of the cards have a different suspect on each edge, which is secret to all the players.
The holes allow the needle to pass through,
so each game has a different guilty suspect depending on which way you put the card In.
As you get clues, you turn face down any suspects that don't fit the description.
It's a process of elimination, sort of like Guess Who, which was simpler.
Two players try to guess each other's characters,
by asking verbal questions and eliminating by knocking them down.
The doctor says the person is angry.
-[DING] -True...
The taxi driver says eyeglasses..
-[DING] -True...
So it must be... the Racketeer.
Use your arrest card, remove the guilty card from the Lie Detector,
and there you go.
You win an extra point for every suspect card that's still face up.
You play another round, and the first player to become Chief wins.
Some of the clues are kind of vague..
Flashy dresser... I'm not sure what exactly is considered 'flashy dressing'..
Friendly? HOW friendly?
Skinny? Well, most of them are about average...
How about this guy? Thick lower lip...
looks like HE has a thick lower lip, is he accusing himself?
I think it's the Taxi Driver.
Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads..
Huh, I was wrong.
See, things don't always add up.
Let's try again.
Wears hat... [DING] Hmm.. True...
Brown hair.. [DING] True...
Blue eyes... [DING] ...True...
I think I narrowed everybody down.
Let's try the Fight Promoter.
