About this board game

Mimose & Sam et le Voleur de Fruits is a 20-minute, one-vs-all deduction game for 2–4 players aged 5 and up.

The fruits are disappearing from the garden, and Mimose, Sam, and their friend must discover who—or what—is responsible. Most players become detectives, gathering clues, eliminating suspects, and working together to identify the thief.

One player secretly takes the role of the fruit thief. Their goal is to find all the perfect fruits and run back home without being caught, with a birthday pie to bake for Mimose’s party tomorrow. The thief must choose their actions carefully and avoid leaving clues that make their identity too easy to discover.

  • One-vs-all deduction: detectives cooperate against a single hidden opponent.
  • Clue-based investigation: gather information and eliminate suspects to narrow the search.
  • Shared decisions: detectives share their dice and plan their moves carefully.
  • Two distinct roles: investigate as a detective or secretly gather fruit as the thief.

For the detectives, success depends on communication, careful observation, and making the most of the available clues. For the thief, the challenge is to collect the perfect fruits and get home in time while keeping the trail inconclusive.

Based on the Mimose & Sam children’s book series published by Comme des Géants and written and illustrated by Cathon, Mimose & Sam et le Voleur de Fruits brings a playful mystery to family game night. Released in 2024, it offers young players and families a compact deduction experience built around cooperation, hidden identity, and a race against time.
