Intent to Kill

Amazing art. Gameplay is very fun and addictive. Difficulty varies greatly between games. Luck factor can be quite high but not because of random dice rolls, but because of how well/bad sides play. Rules should also offer to change the number of motives in play to adjust the difficulty. Default 6 are still very difficult for normal players. Adjust to 5 or 4 if necessary.

It just doesn't get old. I've been enjoying playing just the 1st scenario out of 9 base ones for over half a year now (And that's not saying that you can easily create your own)! Truly the infinitely replayable deduction game!

One of the best detective game I've played! Mechanic-driven frames of decisions for both players are made very nice and make a detective and killer part very tricky.

I am not a big fan of modern deduction games. I try to like them and, well, I just don't. Intent to Kill is different. It feels more old school. Like the feeling I get when I play Clue. I have only played 2 player and it seems like the right player count. I would say this is both my favorite deduction game and my favorite 2 player game. It stays in my collection, for now.

Excellent asymmetric duel game. One player tries to confuse the detective, commits his crimes so that they correspond to different motives, moves residents to spoil surveillance, and thinks when it's worth lying and when it's better to hide the truth so as not to betray a group of allies - this is very interesting. Playing as a detective is also very good, it's so interesting to try to figure out the truth, exclude the testimony of liars and understand who needs to be watched in order to establish the motive of the criminal. And very fast! 30-40 min for game.
