Board / Card Games

Much easier than it seems.

A very decent mystery game.

Have to play it again to decide whether it is for me or not; it seemed fun but quite complicated first time.

One of my new favorites nowadays. Extremely strategic with unbelievable simplicity! You have to pay attention to & keep in mind gazillion goals, strategies, things... Very, very high replayable value!

Quite complicated but enjoyable game; lots of strategy it seems like. Very replayable.

Like the "...Rails" just the simplified, light and much, much faster version. Very enjoyable. There is Christmas version too!

Seems pretty fun and entertaining. I am not saying it is extremely exceptional, but a great, solid game. Would not mind owning it at all.

It is a bit of a disappointment. The game concept itself is fabulous, the art is breath taking. But there are some problems with the dynamics, at least with 3 players. There are loooong waiting times between rounds (until the ghost manages to find any kind of relations between the 7 cards AND the suspects, etc.) Also, if the players don't keep in mind constantly, that it should be a CREATIVE, IMAGINATIVE and INTUITIVE game, it can turn out to be a plain guessing game. There can be another problem too: after playing the game several times, certain images pick up certain 'meanings'; for instance, the weird looking apple very quickly became a symbol of 'poison' in our circle, so we used it for representing poison automatically. That means, that we cannot use it for anything else because every player has closely associated it for that one thing. The same thing can happen to a lot of cards if we play the game too much. Consequently it diminishes the game's replaying value a lot.
