I haven't read the novel but somehow I have the feeling that 12 eps will be good.

Was personally hoping for 24 episodes as it seems very interesting with the whole spy mystery but 12 episodes could be fine.

I don't know how long the novel is but since they're only adapting 1 volume, 12 episodes should suffice if they know what they're doing.

There're four novels in total (Joker Game, Double Joker, Paradise Lost and The Last Waltz)

If they're only planning to adapt the first volume I would say one cour is largely enough! (PD: the novel itself is not that long either: 280 pages if I'm not mistaken)

[EDIT] The original 2008 edition has less pages than the 2011 edition, I'm guessing the extra 30 pages are spin-off/side stories added like with the newer editions of Shinrei Tantei Yakumo(?)

in summer we get "91 days" which gives off a similar vibe than Joker Game (even the character design), maybe you should check that out(?)

It's getting an OVA split between the 2 BD Box Sets, so will be basically 14 episodes, which is a bit better. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-04-05/joker-game-anime-blu-rays-to-include-original-animation/.100695
