Preface
This has been a no fail game for any group i've brought it to, whether or not they were experienced board gamers. This is the kind of game that your friends will ask you to break out again the next time they come over. We love all trying to put the murder into a narrative and telling each other how we think it happened. Everyone has these elaborate stories because there are lots of clues, some of which matter and some of which do not. The best way to weed out the clues that don't matter is to work in all the clues into murder story, and see which clues change in the next round. This way, the climax of the game is not like the anti-climactic board game clue, where you would say, "i think john committed the murder with the scarf and left behind the playing card. " it's more like, "ok, i think john was playing a high stakes game of poker in an abandoned factory with someone he met on craigslist. Everyone was dressed warmly because the factory did not have good heating. After winning a big hand, his opponent attempted to argue his way out of paying the debt. There was a scuffle, and in a fit of rage, he strangled the deadbeat to death with his own scarf. " these stories are the highlight of the game. It's the best when the murderer has a really good alternative story that the other players buy into, and after he gets away with the murder, everyone goes back to the clues and realizes how they were duped.

Deception: Murder in Hong Kong Review (GFG96761)
Pros. * easy setup. * short play time. * plays up to 12. . Cons. * some of the tiles the forensic scientist use can be utterly useless. * we found the means and clue cards should have been bigger. . This game is an absolute blast! i have mysterium and we found it somewhat interesting, and have pulled it out a few times, but this game just destroys it. Yes they are totally different, but kind of have the same 'clue' feeling, trying to figure out who did it. If we have a choice to play only one, it will always be deception! . . With handing out the role cards to everyone, and 4 means cards and 4 clue cards to all but the forensic scientist, not game will ever be the same! this is a total party game. The most i have played with so far is 7, and for the most part, nobody was sitting in their seat. They were all standing, or walking around the table to get a good look at each others cards, and it got decently loud with people accusing each other. This game is a must in my opinion! -N. Audrey

Deception: Murder In Hong Kong (Grey Fox Games)"Super fun game. This is our go to party game. Very easy to pick up. We always like to compare board games. This game reminds me of a mixture between mysterium ultimate werewolf. I this is a good game for groups 4+. Ideally i think it's most enjoyable with 6+ because you get to play with the accomplice and witness. It's like mysterium is the sense that one person is giving clues to everyone to help find the murder. The person giving the clue is the forensic sciences and hes giving clues to the detective to find the true culprit. If you're looking for a fun party game that doesn't have people shouting over each other this is the game for you."Accessories » Consoles » Digital Games & DLC » Games » Interactive Gaming Figures » Points Cards » Accessories » Digital Games & DLC » Games » Virtual Reality » Accessories » Digital Games & DLC » Games » Deception: Murder In Hong Kong (Toys And Games) Gfg96761

Secret Hitler
Secret hitler is a dramatic game of political intrigue and betrayal set in 1930's germany. Players are secretly divided into two teams - liberals and fascists. Known only to each other, the fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader. The liberals must find and stop the secret hitler before it's too late. Secret hitler introduces new mechanics to the hidden-identity game genre. The first is the element of randomness. When laws are passed, the president draws three policies, passes two to the chancellor, and the chancellor enacts one. Only the enacted policy is revealed, so players have to rely on the president and chancellor's word to know what got discarded. The deck has a known initial composition (11 fascist policies, 6 liberal policies), and players can roughly track deck contents based on what the president and chancellor report, though someone might have lied about what was discarded. That means players can form reasonable expectations and plan around probability, but they can also manipulate future probabilities and expectations in a way that benefits their team. The second new mechanic is the "hitler" identity: if hitler is elected as chancellor after the third fascist policy has already been enacted, the game ends immediately and the fascists win. This means hitler will spend most of the game playing as a liberal to gain players' trust. Once the third fascist policy is enacted, anyone who has helped the group becomes immediately suspect; if the liberals make a wrong move at this point, they lose immediately. This creates incredible moments of tension and relief in the game.

Spyfall Card Game
Walk a mile in the shoes of a spy! or was it a kilometer in clogs? spyfall is an easy-to-learn card game of bluffing, probing questions, clever answers, and suspicion. At the start of each round, players receive a secret card letting them know where they are - a casino, space station, pirate ship, circus, (30 unique locations! ) - except that one player receives the spy card instead of the location. The spy doesn't know where he is, but wins the round if he can figure it out before he blows his cover! players then start asking each other questions during the intense 8-minute rounds. Non-spy players want to ask questions and give answers that prove to the other players that they know where they are. But watch out! if your questions and answers are too specific, the spy will easily guess the location and win, so you need to practice a bit of subtlety. But if your questions and answers are too generic, you might be accused of being the spy. The spy will also sometimes be asked questions (just like any other player would) and have to come up with questions of his own, without knowing anything about where he is! if you listened carefully to the other players, you'll be able to come up with a plausible question or answer. Hopefully.

Sheriff of Nottingham
I say, what a fun romp this was. This game can best be described as smuggling goods: the game. This, like the resistance, is a game that runs on personality. Play with a lifeless crowd, this game falls flat. Play with an animated group who likes to roleplay and isn't afraid to talk smack, and you've got yourself a winner. . Components are nice. Solid coins, detailed, colourful artwork, and a nice sturdy box. The app addition from the website adds to the atmosphere. However, fair warning: those snaps are way too tight, and buttons have been reported to rip out on the very first playthrough with many people. My friends and i went into the game knowing this, and fortunately, all of them survived. My advice is to find a tailor who could whip you up some alternative bags out of felt and some buttons/velcro that won't tear right out. Be careful. . Other than that, great game. You will have a blast.
In sheriff of nottingham, players will take turns stepping into the shoes of the sheriff himself, while others act as merchants attempting to bring their goods into the city for profit! beware though, while many may act as honest merchants, there is always the possibility of contraband being smuggled into the city!

See Sheriff Of Nottingham (Arcane Wonders) FAQ.
This game was a hit at family game night! . . A truly rich experience - much richer than you'd think from reading the game's description. I had this on my to-buy list for over a year and always passed, thinking it looked, well, a bit boring. "i'm paying how much for this? to do what? put cards in a bag? " well gosh, was i wrong! . . This game is a hoot! a 100% grand-slam! i love it! here's some reasons why:. + repeated play with the same group isn't dull: players refine and switch up their strategy, leading to tense, comical game moments as someone is unexpectedly caught by a usually-lax sheriff who has decided to play hard ball, or as someone sneaks in tons of contraband who normally is honest. This sort of relationship within the game keeps things fresh and exciting, and players are eager to replay to implement new schemes. + the game is precisely as long as it needs to be, and never drags on: it ends at that happy point of "aww, i could've kept going! ", which many games don't know how to do anymore. This is one of those games that your group will say "let's play it again! " before the points are even tallied. + rich point-scoring system: this was a blast. Who will be the cheese queen? who had royal goods tucked away to blow out the scores? this keeps the game quite exciting! . + gorgeous art: i wasn't sold at first, personally, but after seeing the game in-person, i must admit, it's quite beautifully done and it really suits the mood. . If you're on the fence, if you're saying, "hey, why would i pay this much for a game about lying about cards in a little bag? what's the big deal? " let me tell you: you need this game, you will love this game, and you will slap yourself for not getting it sooner! -Notice from Q. Cindy, Massachusetts

Great party game. It is really easy to learn and can be fun for a large range of ages. The concept of the game is very unique and is a good change for usual board games. It really lives up to its description:. . The sheriff of nottingham is a fun and engaging game for all where each player will have the chance to step into the shoes of the sheriff himself! other players, acting as merchants will attempt to bring their goods into the city for profit. Beware though, while many may act as honest merchants, there is always the possibility of contraband being smuggled into the city! . . I highly recommend this game, my family has a great time everytime we play!
- N. PearceThis game is a fantastic way to start or end a game night. Best with 4-5 people. Best if the people playing are a fun group, and are willing to not take the game too seriously. Games take 40-60 minutes, depending on the number of players. . There is no perfect strategy. You can be honest all the time and collect points with your legit goods, or try to amp up your score be sneaking in higher-value contraband. If you're caught, it hurts your wallet. If you get away with it, everyone knows, and that plays into how people deal with you in the future. . There are many nuances. You can bribe the sheriff into letting you pass with your cargo without an inspection, to get some contraband past him. You can attempt to bribe the sheriff, hoping he will inspect your legit cargo, and pay you for his mistrust. Everyone takes turns being the sheriff, and making tough decisions. Can you read the other players real intentions? they might lie to get you to do what they want. . You can play an honest merchant the whole game, and then switch to dishonest for big points when the sheriff doesn't expect it. But maybe he's thinking the same thing about your tactics. What will he do? will he inspect your cargo, or let you pass without an inspection? would a "donation" to his re-election campaign streamline the process, or raise suspicion and cause an inspection? make your move, and live with the consequences. It's a riot. . With 4 types of goods available, everyone is trying to be the 1 or 2 merchant in some of them, to earn bonus points. It pays to stock up on one or two of them, and ignore the rest.
Our gaming group loves the social-deduction trend that has been sweeping the board game world recently (coup, resistance, werewolf etc). This is an interesting take on the genre which emphasizes players discussing with each other the specifics of what they are trying to bring to the market (or smuggle in! ) rather than the "hidden role" style. Putting one player in each round "in charge" is a great way to shake things up as each player will handle "their" round differently. You will find that your group builds meta layers of strategy the more you play (david never lies, but wait - he did this time! ). . If you like social deduction games, this will be hours of fun.

Blood Rage
In blood rage, each player controls their own viking clanÍs warriors, leader, and ship. Ragnar k has come, and itÍs the end of the world! itÍs the vikingsÍ last chance to go down in a blaze of glory and secure their place in valhalla at odinÍs side! for a viking there are many pathways to glory. You can invade and pillage the land for its rewards, crush your opponents in epic battles, fulfill quests, increase your clan's stats, or even die gloriously either in battle or from ragnar k, the ultimate inescapable doom. Most player strategies are guided by the cards drafted at the beginning of each of the three game rounds (or ages). These ñgodsÍ giftsî grant you numerous boons for your clan including: increased viking strength and devious battle strategies, upgrades to your clan, or even the aid of legendary creatures from norse mythology. They may also include various quests, from dominating specific provinces, to having lots of your vikings sent to valhalla. Most of these cards are aligned with one of the norse gods, hinting at the kind of strategy they support. For example, thor gives more glory for victory in battle, heimdall grants you foresight and surprises, tyr strengthens you in battle, while the trickster loki actually rewards you for losing battles, or punishes the winner. Players must choose their strategies carefully during the draft phase, but also be ready to adapt and react to their opponentsÍ strategies as the action phase unfolds. Battles are decided not only by the strength of the figures involved, but also by cards played in secret. By observing your opponentÍs actions and allegiances to specific gods, you may predict what card they are likely to play, and plan accordingly. Winning battles is not always the best course of action, as the right card can get you even more rewards by being crushed. The only losing strategy in blood rage is to shy away from battle and a glorious death!
