The Pursuit of John Wilkes Booth is a game of deduction and investigation. Players step into the roles of Detectives, tasked with capturing the assassin. Union authorities were uncertain of Booth’s destination. As Detectives, players must follow Leads, uncover Clues, and piece together Booth’s Trail as he evades capture. Players can enlist Secretary Stanton’s assistance to aid in their mission. Ultimately, Detectives must pinpoint Booth’s exact location by executing a successful Search, and then Raid to either capture or kill him.

The game offers multiple ways to play:
solo, cooperatively (two players), or competitively (two players).

Competitive mode closely mirrors the historical race to catch Booth. Additionally, a player can assume the role of Booth and his accomplices, introducing a thrilling twist.
