I'm on the fence on whether I like this game. It's very flavorful, and definitely captures the seat of your pants theme of the anime, But...
It plays like D&D lite; there's rules for grid-based movement, combat, and even a 'character generation' phase where you buy supplies. You definitely need a full 5 people, a lot of the rules and abilities are balanced to rely on all four 'villains' being present. Thankfully there's two maps even without cracking the expansion pack, but even the 'simple' map was a little one-sided towards the detective.

kernalphageFrom watching the video review and mulling over the points it makes with some friends, it seems that Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon can realistically be played by one person if needed as we didn't hear anything about them having different wincons whereas Fujiko has the random possibility of being a traitor and Zenigata obviously being the main villain.

HirotoSamaIIRC you remove the "Forgive me, Lupin" cards (and the Fujiko & Zenigata team-up cards if you're using the expansion) from Fujiko's deck when you're playing a 2-player match.

kernalphageMy group compares it to "Reverse Scotland Yard/Letters to Whitechapel." But yes, it's best played with a full compliment of 5 players.
