Use your powers of observation, deduction and mental agility in Checkpoint Charlie to become the best investigator and find out which of the suspects is the chief of spies, using the clues that you and the other investigators uncover.

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.

Set during the cold war, Checkpoint Charlie uses cartoon-style dogs and cats to depict detectives and spies. 

Explore space by building a solar system, making moon craters and constellations, launching rockets, and testing to see which planets could support life.
