Nice! I got this as part of the recent Solo bundle...

Quick question: Is it a typo to have the five search decks face UP? I played (without a tower thanks to my cat!) and it took 5 turns to 'win.' I just waited until I had a better hand showing than the top 5 cards and knew I would win.

I'm also toying with a way to add a bit of tension without a tower: Have the player draw 2 from a search deck (face down). They keep one and one goes to the 'accused' hand- face down. A suspect is killed after 'X' number of cards or a search area is cleared. Just not sure which works better...

The defender/accused hand is built from their deck of cards- player has to build theirs first, then flip over the accused deck and make the best hand there.

Hi! Thanks so much – that certainly sounds a whole lot like a typo, because having the search decks face up is a terrible game mechanic! I'm very sorry, and thank you for pointing it out, I'll make sure to correct that.

I love your idea about an alternative mechanic to use instead of a tower – I'm really busy this week but I'll try to test that out as soon as I get the chance. I think it's a great idea to make the game more accessible to people who don't have a Jenga-game, or have a cat (!) or have trouble drawing from a tower for various reasons.

Many thanks!

Oh no, are the search decks supposed to be face down? Well that explains why I won so quickly! In that case, I'll replay it with the search decks down before I leave my review! The community copy I downloaded a little over a week ago still has the "face up" typo, just a heads up. =)
