lautapeli / boardgame
Board game set in the 1940s Los Angeles. Try to solve a crime, usually murder, before other detectives by looking for clues, questioning suspects and bribing snitches.
Goal is to deduce correctly 3 keypoints in solution: suspect, murder weapon and motive. If detectives don't solve the crime correctly in time, case goes cold and gamemaster Chisel wins.
While interrogating suspect, Chisel will give the answer based on suspect and chosen clue, and detective has to decide: was given answer most useful or not?
By challenging Chisel correctly gives detective leverage against suspect, but incorrect one gives leverage for Chisel against detective.
Although Chisel works as a gamemaster, Chisel can also play as actual opponent.
I will play as Chisel and work more like a gamemaster. Playing 1-2 cases, depending how quickly first goes and how much there is time left for second.
Planning to play cases "Bloody Christmas" and/or "The Last Embrace". If there are players, who have played these or other cases already or want more challenge, I will choose cases based on that information.
Welcome new and previous detectives!
