From the publisher:
"Seguindo a descrição da testemunha, a polícia faz um retrato falado. Com base nele, o detetive detém os suspeitos para averiguações e tenta prender o culpado. Não é interessante? Em RETRATO FALADO isto é ainda mais, já que às vezes você é o detetive, outras a testemunha e até o desenhista da polícia. Não é um desafio?"
Or, in a free translation:
"Following the description of the witness, the police makes a police sketch. Based on it, the detective holds the suspects for questioning and attempts to arrest the culprit. Isn't it interesting? In RETRATO FALADO this is even more, since you are sometimes the detective, other times you are the witness and even the police artist. Isn't it a challenge?"
In Retrato Falado, a cooperative game for only three people, one person - the witness - will try to memorize some cards with faces drawings and then make a police sketch of one randomly selected card (without seeing). A second player - the police artist - will "draw" the face described using the tiles representing eyes, nose, mouth, etc. Finally, the third player - the detective - will try to find out what was the card that the witness described. If he chooses correctly, everyone scores.
