Read the full game description
Ricochons is a cooperative game. In each box there are 30 grids filled with words. For each grid, the goal is to complete a dialog by solving riddles through associating words and ideas in the right sequence. The words that remain left at the end of the grid will form a rebus that will help the players to complete an existing dialog. Each grid can be solved separately, but the dialog to be completed continues from one grid to another and tells a story of funny detectives investigation (this is the theme). All players work together in associating the words and solving the riddles. There is no restriction in communication and the game finishes when a grid is solved.
