Description
The year is 1941. Within eight months, the United States will join in the war raging in Europe and brewing in the Pacific. However for the moment, the lives of most Americans continue in relative peace...unless you live in the City by the Bay.
In San Francisco crimes, mysteries, and good old-fashioned murder present unique challenges to detectives and residents alike – especially if you happen to be a detective investigating a dirty backroom deal inside a neon lit nightclub, or a future criminal plotting against a spouse under a flickering streetlamp. It is up to you, the players, to create the story.
Ace Detective – which features color and black/white artwork from the grand masters of detective pulp Black Mask Magazine – is a noir storytelling card game that rewards imagination and the turn of a good tale. Play your cards right, tell your story, and be rewarded with the plot points needed to place clues on the suspects of the crime. But be careful as everyone in this gritty city is competing to tell his or her own story...
...to become the true ace detective.

Quotes (from this video)
- I have been so fortunate to be able to spend so much of my time doing something that I thoroughly enjoy and get such satisfaction out of and so I want you to understand I don't feel entitled to your support financially or otherwise but I am just so grateful for it because it allows me to continue doing something that I love doing so much
- if the series has been valuable to you in some way maybe it's helped you to spend your money well so you picked up a game that you knew would be a good fit for your family because of something you saw here or maybe it helped you avoid a couple of stinkers maybe it's just provided you with some entertainment whatever it is then I would ask for your support as a vote of confidence that this is something that I should continue doing
- I realize I cannot create an episode every time that all of you are going to enjoy equally but I do hope that through this variety I will keep things fresh I'll help introduce you not only to games that you know you're already going to like but maybe some styles of games you wouldn't normally try out but hey you can watch it played and maybe discover that it's something that you would enjoy playing
- I want to continue to fully support all of the video content that's created by that I mean that even if today you're just now going back and watching even one of our oldest videos from 2 years ago and you leave a comment there or you have a question I am going to go and I'm going to respond to that because I see your contributions those comments and those questions as a sign that what we're doing matters to you I mean otherwise you wouldn't leave those comments and so I want to let you know it matters to me and so by responding to you that's how I show it and that interaction it really is important to me
- listen we're Gamers and social interaction is a part of that I mean unless you're exclusively playing solo games and so being able to create this series and feel connected to the larger Gaming Community is really something special and I want to be able to return that favor by letting you know that you're connecting with us and it really matters
- I am commissioning unique digital artwork that I can send to you and will only be sent to you through this fundraiser but the artwork is going to be done by an actual board game artist and they're going to be depicting moments that occurred during gameplay that you watched and were involved in
- I would like for all of you to do the same thing I want this to be a special momento of your involvement and support of our series
- if you can't donate if it's just not something you're able to do or you simply don't want to do it I perfectly understand I just appreciate that you watch this video and you continue to watch our series and be a part of it until the next episode
