The Game of Detective

The Game of Detective is an 1889 roll-and-move pursuit game published by R. Bliss Manufacturing Company. Players take the role of detectives tracking a fugitive across a series of illustrated locations, moving along the board by dice or spinner results. As with many Bliss productions of the period, the game emphasizes vivid chromolithograph artwork and straightforward, family-friendly race mechanics rather than deduction or strategy, offering a period-style interpretation of detective adventure.
