PEGASUS MiniCrimes - Flawed Image - coöperatief puzzelspel, 1-2 spelers, vanaf 10 jaar

Two friends sit down at a coffee table, open a small box, and find themselves staring at a photograph that doesn't add up. PEGASUS MiniCrimes - Flawed Image turns that moment into a 45–75 minute cooperative investigation for 1–2 players. The box holds 30 large cards, a rule booklet, and a handful of mysterious items—everything needed to piece together a puzzling case. No extra tools, no app required; just observation, deduction, and lateral thinking.
