I played this last night and had a great time. Played with two and this really worked well. The instructions are good, but a few more examples would really help - especially for the investigation phase where it’s not totally clear about how the investigator moves.
Anyways overall this is a giant success and really got me thinking about what other genres could be played in this format. Horror would work really well, though you might want to make it a bit more lethal.
Some things I think I’d house rule in -
throw in the jokers and use those to trigger flashbacks,
add an epilog at the end and have players take turns picking up a suspect card and giving a 1-2 sentence ‘what happened to them’ summary of their future after the murder. Also a good way to clean up the game!
And some suggestions for the kickstarter:
1 have a couple of setting suggestions that are a bit flushed out as scenarios - you could use the plots of famous books eg, you’re all on a luxurious island and everyone has been summoned here under mysterious circumstances, including the investigator, etc . Just something to give people a bit of a sense of place.
2 add some rules for other genres (eg horror, etc)
Thsnks for the great game!
