In the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff ‌a demon walks amongst you. During a hellish thunderstorm on the stroke of midnight there echoes a bone-chilling scream. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the town storyteller murdered their body impaled on the hands of the clocktower blood dripping onto the cobblestones below. A Demon is on the loose murdering by night and disguised in human form by day. Some have scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight the evil or protect the innocent. But the Demon and its evil minions are spreading lies to confuse and breed suspicion. Will the good townsfolk put the puzzle together in time to execute the true demon and save themselves? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful village?Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game with players on opposing teams of Good and Evil overseen by a Storyteller player who conducts the action and makes crucial decisions. The goal of the game is to successfully deduce and execute the demons before they outnumber the townfolk.During a 'day' phase players socialize openly and whisper privately to trade knowledge or spread lies culminating in a player's execution if a majority suspects them of being Evil. During a 'night' time players close their eyes and are woken one at a time by the Storyteller to gather information spread mischief or kill.The Storyteller uses the game's intricate playing pieces to guide each game leaving others free to play without a table or board. Players stay in the thick of the action to the very end even if their characters are killed haunting Ravenswood Bluff as ghosts trying to win from beyond the grave. If you arrive late to a game you can enter after it's started as a powerful Traveller character with unusual talents and questionable allegiances. Each character comes with their own special ability and no two players in a game are ever the same character.

Deception: Murder in Hong Kong is a game of deduction and deception for 4-12 players that plays in about 20 minutes.In the game players take on the roles of investigators attempting to solve a murder case – but there's a twist. The killer is one of the investigators! Each player's role and team are randomly assigned at the start of play and include the unique roles of Forensic Scientist Witness Investigator Murderer and Accomplice. While the Investigators attempt to deduce the truth the murderer's team must deceive and mislead. This is a battle of wits!The Forensic Scientist has the solution but can express the clues only using special scene tiles while the investigators (and the murderer) attempt to interpret the evidence. In order to succeed the investigators must not only deduce the truth from the clues of the Forensic Scientist they must also see through the misdirection being injected into the equation by the Murderer and Accomplice!Find out who among you can cut through deception to find the truth and who is capable of getting away with murder!RolesForensic Scientist x1 As the game master the Forensic Scientist holds the solution to the crime. They are responsible for assisting the Investigators in identifying the “Key Evidence” and “Means of Murder.” When an Investigator does that successfully the crime is solved and the Forensic Scientist and the Investigators win the game.During the game the Forensic Scientist is NOT allowed to hint to the solution with words gestures or eyes.Murderer x1 When the crime takes place the Murderer chooses 1 Clue card and 1 Means card as the solution to the crime. These will be the “Key Evidence” and “Means of Murder” respectively.The Murderer tries to hide their role and look for a scapegoat. Even if they are identified the Murderer still wins the game if no one correctly identifies both the “Key Evidence” and the “Means of Murder”.Investigators x8 To solve the crime the Investigators must analyze the hints given by the Forensic Scientist. As long as one of the Investigators correctly identifies both the “Key Evidence” and “Means of Murder,” the Murderer is arrested and the Investigators win the game (as does the Forensic Scientist).Bear in mind that the Murderer (and sometimes Accomplice) is among the Investigators! The innocent Investigators must make a vigorous effort to defend themselves from false accusation.Accomplice x1 The Accomplice is an optional role for games with six or more players. The Accomplice knows who the Murderer is as well as the solution to the crime. The Accomplice and Murderer both win if the Murderer gets away with his crime.Witness x1 The Witness is an optional role when playing with six or more players.* The Witness is an Investigator who has witnessed the culprits leaving the crime scene. They have no way of knowing which is the Murderer and which is the Accomplice and they do not know how the crime was committed.If the Murderer is arrested but can identify the Witness the Witness is considered to be killed allowing the Murderer and the Accomplice to get away with murder and win the game.

Get ready to enter the poor and dreary Whitechapel district in London 1888 – the scene of the mysterious Jack the Ripper murders – with its crowded and smelly alleys hawkers shouting merchants dirty children covered in rags who run through the crowd and beg for money and prostitutes – called the wretched – on every street corner.The board game Letters from Whitechapel which plays in 90-150 minutes takes the players right there. One player plays Jack the Ripper and his goal is to take five victims before being caught. The other players are police detectives who must cooperate to catch Jack the Ripper before the end of the game. The game board represents the Whitechapel area at the time of Jack the Ripper and is marked with 199 numbered circles linked together by dotted lines. During play Jack the Ripper the Policemen and the Wretched are moved along the dotted lines that represent Whitechapel's streets. Jack the Ripper moves stealthily between numbered circles while policemen move on their patrols between crossings and the Wretched wander alone between the numbered circles.

In the 1920s Mr. MacDowell a gifted astrologer immediately detected a supernatural being upon entering his new house in Scotland. He gathered eminent mediums of his time for an extraordinary séance and they have seven hours to make contact with the ghost and investigate any clues that it can provide to unlock an old mystery.Unable to talk the amnesiac ghost communicates with the mediums through visions which are represented in the game by illustrated cards. The mediums must decipher the images to help the ghost remember how he was murdered: Who did the crime? Where did it take place? Which weapon caused the death? The more the mediums cooperate and guess well the easier it is to catch the right culprit.In Mysterium a reworking of the game system present in Tajemnicze Domostwo one player takes the role of ghost while everyone else represents a medium. To solve the crime the ghost must first recall (with the aid of the mediums) all of the suspects present on the night of the murder. A number of suspect location and murder weapon cards are placed on the table and the ghost randomly assigns one of each of these in secret to a medium.Each hour (i.e. game turn) the ghost hands one or more vision cards face up to each medium refilling their hand to seven each time they share vision cards. These vision cards present dreamlike images to the mediums with each medium first needing to deduce which suspect corresponds to the vision cards received. Once the ghost has handed cards to the final medium they start a two-minute sandtimer. Once a medium has placed their token on a suspect they may also place clairvoyancy tokens on the guesses made by other mediums to show whether they agree or disagree with those guesses.After time runs out the ghost reveals to each medium whether the guesses were correct or not. Mediums who guessed correctly move on to guess the location of the crime (and then the murder weapon) while those who didn't keep their vision cards and receive new ones next hour corresponding to the same suspect. Once a medium has correctly guessed the suspect location and weapon they move their token to the epilogue board and receive one clairvoyancy point for each hour remaining on the clock. They can still use their remaining clairvoyancy tokens to score additional points.If one or more mediums fail to identify their proper suspect location and weapon before the end of the seventh hour then the ghost has failed and dissipates leaving the mystery unsolved. If however they have all succeeded then the ghost has recovered enough of its memory to identify the culprit.Mediums then group their suspect location and weapon cards on the table and place a number by each group. The ghost then selects one group places the matching culprit number face down on the epilogue board picks three vision cards — one for the suspect one for the location and one for the weapon — then shuffles these cards. Players who have achieved few clairvoyancy points flip over one vision card at random then secretly vote on which suspect they think is guilty; players with more points then flip over a second vision card and vote; then those with the most points see the final card and vote.If a majority of the mediums have identified the proper suspect with ties being broken by the vote of the most clairvoyant medium then the killer has been identified and the ghost can now rest peacefully. If not well perhaps you can try again...

Detective: City of Angels set in the dark and violent world of 1940s Los Angeles is a game of mystery deception and investigation for 1–5 players. Most players will step into the shoes of LAPD homicide detectives hungry for glory and willing to do whatever it takes to successfully close a case even if that means intimidating suspects concealing evidence and hiring snitches to rat on their fellow detectives. One player however will take on the role of The Chisel whose only goal is to stall and misdirect the detectives at every turn using bluffing manipulation and (often) outright lies.Detective: CoA uses the innovative ARC (Adaptive Response Card) System to create the feel of interrogating a suspect. Suspects do not simply give paragraph-book responses; instead The Chisel carefully chooses how they will answer. When Billy O'Shea insists that the victim was a regular at Topsy's Nightclub is he telling the truth or is The Chisel subtly leading the detectives toward a dead end that will cost them precious time? Detectives can challenge responses that they think are lies but at great risk: If they're wrong The Chisel will acquire leverage over them making the case that much harder to solve.Detective: CoA includes separate detailed casebooks for both the detectives and The Chisel. Each crime is a carefully constructed puzzle that can unfold in a variety of ways depending on how the detectives choose to pursue their investigations. As the detectives turn the city upside down uncovering fresh evidence and hot leads hidden suspects may be revealed and new lines of questioning will open up creating a rich story-driven experience.Inspired by classic film noir like The Big Sleep the works of James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential) and the video game L.A. Noire from Rockstar Games Detective: City of Angels is a murder-mystery game unlike any other. Will one detective rise above the rest and close the case on L.A.'s latest high profile murder? Or will The Chisel sow enough doubt and confusion to prevent the detectives from solving the crime?—description from the publisherA sleuth mode allows 1 or more players to play fully cooperatively solving the cases together.

Tajemnicze Domostwo is a purely co-operative game for 2-7 players. One player takes the role of a helpful ghost who lives in a mysterious ancient manor. Other players are a group of psychics invited by the manor owner to solve the mystery of the place and bring peace to its residents as any person who stays in the castle sees strange dreams.The ancient legend says the ghost is the soul of the manor's previous resident who was unjustly executed for a crime he didn't commit more than one hundred years ago. Now he tries to use the mysterious signs to tell people the truth about what really happened then so that justice would be established and he might rest in peace for ever.

Tragedy Looper is a scenario-based deduction game for two to four players: one mastermind and one to three protagonists. The game consists of four location boards and a number of character cards. Each scenario features a number of characters hidden roles for these characters (serial killer conspiracy theorist friend) and some pre-set tragedies (murder suicide).Each day (turn) players and the mastermind play three face-down cards onto the characters then reveal them to move the characters around or affect their paranoia or goodwill stats. At the end of each day (turn) if the scenario has a tragedy set for that day it happens if the conditions are met i.e. certain characters have certain stats or are in a certain location together (or not together) with others. As tragedies happen players loop back in time restarting the scenario from the beginning and trying to deduce who the culprit was and why the tragedy occurred.The players win if they manage to maintain status quo — that is if no tragedies occur to the key individuals — for a set number of days within a set number of loops. If not the mastermind wins.Tragedy Looper was originally released in Japan as 惨劇RoopeR in 2011; the first english version of the game was released in 2014.

A Study in Emerald is a game for two to five players based on the award-winning short story of the same name by Neil Gaiman. In this stylistic mash-up of Sherlock Holmes and H.P. Lovecraft the worst has already happened and the world is now ruled by the Old Ones. However a secret war is being fought to free mankind from their servitude. The game A Study in Emerald fleshes out this core idea by including historical figures from the late nineteenth century most being persons involved in the anarchist movement of the time.Deck-building forms the core of the game. You use influence cubes to bid for the right to draft cards and take control of cities. Each player has a secret identity either a Restorationist fighting against the creatures or a Loyalist attempting to defend the status quo. Which side you are on determines what you score points for. An additional twist is that the performance of other players on the same side as you can stop you from winning if they are doing particularly badly so you really want to know who is on which side. More specifically when the game ends – and this can result from multiple causes such as a marker on the War or Revolution track hitting 15 or the assassination of a Restorationist player agent – then the sides compare their scores; which side has the lowest score automatically loses then the player with the highest score on the remaining team wins the game.The game takes around ninety minutes to play and is more complex than most so more suitable for the experienced gamer.

Watson & Holmes is a game of deduction set within the magnificent works of Arthur Conan Doyle. Two to seven aspiring detectives step into the shoes of Doctor Watson working alongside the detective Sherlock Holmes to try to solve a series of so far unpublished cases directly extracted from Doctor John H. Watson's diaries. Those who accept the challenge relive the adventures of the crime-solving duo visiting each of the locations where the inquiries were made. Following the trail each clue brings players closer to solving the case.The objective of the game is to immerse yourself in the Victorian world depicted in each story. Visit the right places decipher the clues and above all find the path that leads you to solve the mystery before anybody else. Victory goes to the player who accurately uses the deductive reasoning so famously and ingeniously implemented by the hero of 221B Baker Street.The game consists of a series of separate cases each of which raises a number of questions that each player tries to solve before anyone else. To do this once the case and the questions have been read aloud players proceed to visit the locations where the clues are located. Each location cannot be accessed by more than one player at any one time so if two or more players want to go to the same place the player who travels there the fastest (i.e. he who uses the largest number of Carriage Tokens) gets the clue forcing the others to go to a different location. Once every player has a destination they proceed to read in secret the clue that was discovered at that location. They can discreetly take any notes they deem appropriate. Once this is done the cards are returned to their place so that others can read them in later turns.This procedure is repeated during each turn until one player believes he has found the solutions to the case; at that time he must go to 221B Baker Street to check if his answers are correct. If all the answers are correct the player wins; if they are wrong he will have lost and retires from the game and the game continues.Each detective will also have the invaluable assistance of a number of Sherlock Holmes' allies above all the good Dr Watson and of course of the detective himself.

You and your opponent are rival time travelers trying to erase each other from history. To prove you are the one true inventor of time travel you must use your invention to find your enemy in time and murder them — before they get you!Unfortunately since your enemy has strewn many copies of themself across the timeline you may have to do the terrible deed many many times before it sticks. Just make sure you don't get erased first!That Time You Killed Me is an abstract narrative game of time and murder that introduces new scenarios with unique rules and components as you play. As with any game about mucking about across time you must play through this content in a strict unalterable order.To set up place three game boards in a row to represent past present and future. Each player starts with a player piece in the same location on each 4x4 board with the start player having their focus token in the past while the other has it in the future.On a turn choose a single copy of yourself on the board where your focus token is located then take two actions with this copy with actions being movement to an adjacent orthogonal space time travel forward to the next board (travel from the past to the future is not allowed) or time travel back to the previous board leaving a copy of yourself in the current location when you do. Sure you traveled to the past but if you stick around long enough you'll be right back where you started so now you're there too! At the end of your turn move your focus token to a different board.Under the basic rules you murder a copy of your opponent by pushing them into the wall of the game board. You have a limited number of copies of yourself in reserve and murdered copies don't return to your reserve because that would be gross. If you run out of copies you can no longer travel to the past since you can't leave a copy of yourself behind.If on your turn your opponent has copies of themselves on only one board you win!Play through four chapters of escalating difficulty adding more wild time-travel shenanigans and unlocking more content as you master the game!

Or is the secret private world of the neighbors planting frightening ideas in your mind?In Rear Window one player takes the role of director Alfred Hitchcock — the Master of Suspense — and communicates via building windows clues and signs for the other players without ever uttering a word ideally giving them enough to go on that they can figure out who the murderer is — or whether a murder even took place.If a murderer is out there you need to nail down all eight attributes of that person by the end of four rounds without them catching on to what you see and know.

It is 1882 and the Old Ones are already here.They arrived seven hundred years ago and have been ruling the planet ever since. The majority of people just get on with their lives accepting their monstrous rulers. However a growing band of revolutionaries wish to free mankind from their slavery.

The invention of dynamite has changed the balance of power and a lone assassin now has the capacity to destroy an Old One. In this shadow world of assassins informers police agents and anarchists nobody is quite sure who is who and which side they fight for.The game A Study in Emerald draws its central plot from the award-winning short story penned by Neil Gaiman in which the worlds of Sherlock Holmes and H.P.

They turned you into a highly trained cyber-agent but it didn’t take you long to figure out that your bosses cared much more about their profit than about justice for ordinary people.

Only the rich and privileged can live there and enjoy comfortable houses unlimited access to water clean air and controlled temperature.Uneven access to new technologies and a host of other inequalities fuel social unrest which often turns into open violence. Paris has become a popular destination for people from regions that suffered catastrophic droughts epidemics and wars. It isn’t however a promised land but a merciless world where the constant fight for influence takes place on every level from big international corporations through political extremist groups to ordinary street gangs.Part of Chronicles of Crime - The Millennium Series Chronicles of Crime is back with a range of games called The Millennium Series.

Police Precinct is a cooperative/semi-cooperative game where players are tasked with solving a mysterious murder while simultaneously working to keep crime on the streets under control and to keep the city from falling into chaos.Players take on the role of police officers with different areas of expertise. The players work together to solve the mystery by collecting evidence and eventually arresting the suspect.Complicating matters (optionally) is that there may or may not be a corrupt officer that is being paid off by the murderer to suppress evidence the same evidence everyone else is trying to uncover.Players move around the city searching through randomly shuffled investigation cards for evidence in relation to the murder. The number of investigation cards drawn depends on the character’s rating as well as how many player cards are added by other players to boost the character’s rating for the current “search”. There are four decks of investigation cards (Interview Witness Collect Crime Scene Evidence Examine Body and Locate Murder Weapon) to be searched. These decks are shuffled and placed in different locations. So a player might search the cards in one area and not find any evidence at all… or maybe the bribed cop if there is one did the searching and just said no evidence was found.Players have to find all of the evidence cards from the investigation decks to be able to arrest the murderer.At the end of each player’s turn they draw an event card. These cards represent growing crime and emergencies that are happening in the city. Each one piles on top of the other and if the cops don't stay on top of things they will be buried in crime! These Event cards are placed on the game board at the locations where they occur. Some of them have “unknown circumstance” tokens placed face-down upon them adding even more tension.If too many criminals are located in one area a gang is formed. Each gang has its own power and can cripple the police efforts if not handled quickly and carefully.So not only are the players investigating the murder but they must also arrest street criminals and handle emergencies.Sometimes when a character successfully completes a task that character is rewarded with a doughnut token. These tokens can later be used to help with tasks. However if the character does not complete the task in time the city crime track advances. The track can also advance if street crimes grow so large that no more street criminals can be placed when called for. If the Crime Track advances to the end the murderer escapes justice and the good cops fail the game.To add to the tension even further The good cops only have so many days to complete the investigation. If time runs out once again the murderer shall escape justice!The pressure is great and the stakes are high!

To start you receive in secret one suspect card (out of 12) one crime card (out of 10) and one location card (out of 14); this set of information represents the case that the player to your left must solve. The game board shows fourteen locations arranged so that each location touches a few others; each location has space for a suspect and crime tile. Shuffle the suspect tiles (12 plus two no suspect) and the crime tiles (10 plus four no crime) then place one face up in each location. Each suspect crime and location is included in a deck of evidence cards and nine evidence cards are revealed.On a turn a player either places an investigator chooses an evidence card or attempts to solve her case. When you place an investigator in a location the player to your right looks at his case cards then places a disc on this space for each case card he holds that matches the suspect crime or location in this space. Additionally he places a cube on this space for each suspect crime or location that's adjacent to this space.When you choose an evidence card the player to your right places a disc on the matching tile if the card matches one of the case cards he holds places a cube on the matching tile if this tile is adjacent to a tile matching one of the case cards he holds or places nothing if you've made a wild-eyed guess and the tile isn't adjacent to anything.To attempt to solve the case you place a black token on your guesses. If wrong you're penalized two points and continue play next turn. If right you receive 7 5 3 or 1 points depending on how many others have solved their cases in earlier rounds.The mini-game ends once everyone has solved their case or only one case remains unsolved. All used investigators are removed from play then the board and cards are reset for the next mini-case. Each player has only five investigators total so use them wisely!Whoever has the most points after three mini-cases wins.
