Board Game Review: Outfoxed

Outfoxed is one of our family's favorite board games. Up to four players work together to catch a sneaky fox who has stolen a pot pie. It's like a cooperative version of  Clue for younger players. You can learn more at Gamewright.com and read reviews at BoardGameGeek.


I like that this game teaches deductive reasoning. The kids can help figure out whether each suspect is guilty based on clues we find during the game.
A clue might tell us that the thief is not holding an umbrella. The kids then check each suspect to see if they're holding an umbrella. Throughout the game, the tension builds as the thief gets closer to escaping through the foxhole. Will we identify the thief before they get away with that pot pie? We all hope so!
