Black Stories: Real Crime Edition
Fifty short, morbid riddles present real-life crime scenarios for players to unravel. Players take turns posing yes/no questions and making guesses to reconstruct how each incident occurred, using limited clues printed on the cards. The back of each card gives a fuller factual explanation of the event rather than a separate booklet. Play emphasizes deduction, discussion and creative questioning as groups work through eerie, often disturbing cases.

Garfield1.0 Not a game and not very entertaining to play.
Not as fun as the "Funny Death" version
