The world of Agatha Christie has been translated into a tense but fun card game of mystery, bluffing and deduction - where everyone is guilty but only one of them is guilty of murder. One small issue- I read a lot of Agatha Christie so I get really thrown off by the pictures on the cards.

The Point Your Suspicions card is a fun card which, timed well, can have a significant impact on the game. Auroch Digital is a Bristol-based independent video games development studio and consultancy, known for our high-quality, faithful board game IP adaptations including Ogre, Dark Future and Chainsaw Warrior. The card quality is good, if not outstanding and the artwork is certainly in keeping with the tongue-in-cheek 1930s theme. The rules slightly change depending on the number of players, and I like how it adapts to the number of participants.

The result is that you’ll try to trade cards with others around the table, accumulating the ones you need to unmask the murderer.

Whether you are taking tea at the vicarage, enjoying a train journey, sojourning up the Nile or simply having friends for supper – it really is the perfect addition to your evening. Getting to that point can be hard work because the rules take a while to understand, compute, and log in your brain, but it's a worthwhile investment overall.

They're all amusing and encourage tactical play, but one of the coolest/cruellest ways of cutting to the heart of the matter is a 'devious' card. Each turn, players can play an event card or a set of detective cards and may discard and draw as many cards as they like at the end of their turn.
