You know how much we love card games - and we love this one! Foul Play - fast paced, intense, and very competitive.  Character, action and  evidence cards help move things along.  It can be played many times - not just a guess once and done.  Jeanne and I have played this game for hours - and love it!  #gametour Zooloo's Book Tours #foulplaygame  #onceuponacrime
