What is Checkpoint Charlie
Description from the publisher:
Checkpoint Charlie is a game of observation, deduction, and mental agility. Watch all the suspects carefully and find out which of them is the chief of spies using the clues that you and the other investigators uncover. Be the first to find the chief of spies and become the best hound dog!
In the game, each player receives a clue that reveals one out of five possible traits of the chief of spies. Each player keeps revealing cards, indicating whether each character is a suspect or not. As the game progresses, players gather more and more clues to lead them towards the chief of spies. This chief of spies will coincide with five out of five possible clues, and his aides will match four out of those five. Whoever accuses the chief of spies on time gets the most points. Players who accuse the aides will also earn some points, while the other players might not receive any points at all — or even negative rewards. The game includes two optional rules that add more strategy to the gameplay.
Checkpoint Charlie is set during the cold war, and the subject of detectives and spies is applied using cartoon-stylized dogs and cats.

Me lo regaló su autor en Marzo de 2017, por lo que le tengo especial cariño. Es un juego de deducción sencillo y familiar, pero muy entretenido. Jose ha hecho un gran trabajo y devir una gran edición. Juego de Jose el cántabro que tuve ocasión de probar cuando aún era un prototipo. Es un juego familiar y sencillo, pero que exige mucha atención. Cada jugador encarna a un detective que conoce una pista que permite identificar al sospechoso. En su turno, el jugador desvela una carta y dice si conforme a su pista en sospechoso o no. El resto de los jugadores hacen lo propio. El objetivo es deduc
a good deduction game, with berlin wall feeling.
We had a fun time with this one, it can get mind burning too especially having to think on real time, but is fun, the only thing I didn't like much is the random and swingy VP system, I would adjust it maybe this way to make it fair for everyone: Black stars: -1 White star: +1 Yellow star: +2 (or +3?)

A short and portable deduction game. A little bit of clunky rules but is very fun.
Es un juego entretenido, con 2 variantes que agregan rejugabilidad y agregan un poco de azar al juego. La mejor manera de jugarlo es de 5 jugadores.
