My favorite owned game!! If you enjoy Clue or any other deduction games, you will absolutely love this!!! It takes the deduction aspects of Clue, adds much more strategy (in the form of cards with special powers) and combines it into an amazing package. And the board and components are top notch, also (color evidence pads!). Now you know why I love this game, manowarplayer!

Mystère à l'Abbaye 2025
Order by 15:00 Italian time for same-day dispatch, Monday to Friday.
Delivery in Italy normally takes 1 business day, 2 for the islands.
Mystère à l'Abbaye 2025 is a deduction game for 3-6 players. Uncover the murderer of a monk in a medieval abbey in 60 minutes. Suitable for ages 8 and up.
Monks are of three orders, fat-thin, bald-hatted, bearded-clean shaven. One monk card is hidden, and the rest of the cards are distributed. Turns consist of moving up to two spaces, and then asking a question of any other monks who are present there. (For instance, "how many fat monks do you have?".) Players may either take a "vow of silence" or answer truthfully; they then in turn get to ask the accuser a question. "Mass" occurs every four turns: all players go back to the Sanctuary, an event card is read, and they then pass an ever growing number of cards to their left neighbor. Various rooms have special events or cards associated with them, e.g. in a Cell you get to pick a card from a neighbor, in the Cryptorum you get to pick up a card to take an extra turn later. Unlike Clue you don't automatically win by making a correct Accusation: you get 4 points for getting it right, but you also get 2 points for each correct Declaration of a single trait, and lose points for incorrect declarations and accusations. So, e.g. a person could correctly Declare the culprit but lose the game. Unique Events cards add randomness to each play, and the game begs for House rules to limit the questions.

Una validissima alternativa a Cluedo...Ambientazione bellissima tra le mura del monastero e meccanica di gioco complessa ma efficace...Le carte evento movimentano molto le partite...Scoprire l'assassino non è facile ma alla fine del gioco è appagantissimo...
This game has a great theme and is really fun when the players get into it. I want to make cloth hoods in the colors of the game pieces to add to the experience! One of the best things I can say about it is that when somebody correctly identifies the culprit, almost everyone else at the table was right on the verge of guessing it as well. Nobody ever feels like they were completely out of the game.
Great game, and the best deduction game with theme around (there probably arent that many, but I doubt that this one can get topped). Put on a Gregorian chant cd while playing and you are transported to "The Name of the Rose"! Days of Wonder´s future productions will be worth seeking out for the level of detail put into components alone! A favourite.
Profile only says 1 play, but I'm almost through the pad of suspect sheets. Played it again for the first time in a while and thought, "Why don't I play this more?!" Not the first time I've thought that either. Simple game that just gets better with more plays. Will never turn down a game. Cheers.
