Description Description
Mystery of the Abbey is a whodunit deduction game in the spirit of Clue. A monk has been murdered in a medieval French Abbey. Players maneuver their way through the Abbey examining clues and questioning each other to find out who is the culprit.

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.

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!

The little bell was missing so we just take turns to make a weird noise or call instead.

So much more fun than Clue! We love this game in our house and the kids play from ages 5 and up. Nice length game play and easy to learn. A must have!

Love this game. Penances are so cool if u add fun ones to the game. It has some flaws like different distances.. new mojito edition said it would fix stuff but as i red its just a reboot of the original game, so why bother? They lost a chance

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...
