That setup sounds really sweet!
In my previous home I had a couple of billies but the shelves are all noticeably curved from the weight. It was much easier to manage, tho.
are the low hanging fruit of boardgame storage
It was definitely a budget option for us. It looks nice enough and I don't think I can find something cooler for 120 euros.
They don't fit, they're either too tall/wide or way too deep :/
Standard box sizes in general is something I'd really really like.
It depends on the difficulty. Each case consists on a couple of cards that point you to right direction. The first cases are very easy with very few cards, you'll complete them in 10-15 minutes. Super fast. Then the missions become harder and with more cards, you have to go way back to find the offender. I'd say 30-40 minutes for the longer ones.
The game also has a hard variant where you just read the introduction of the mission and deduce everything else by yourself. I really like this variant and it obviously increases the duration of each mission. The game isn't hard but if feels really great to deduce everything correctly!
My one criticism is that the game shines with 2 players at most, maybe 3.
You don't destroy or mark anything so you can replay or borrow it at any time. However, once you know the solution to the puzzle it's pretty much ruined. My shitty memory forgets the solution so I replay the missions once in a while when introducing the game to a new person.
I hate driving because of everything you just said!
