Black Stories: Mittelalter Edition (2012)

About this game

Black Stories are fiddly, morbid and mysterious riddles for teenagers and adults. The players try to reconstruct the crime by asking, guessing and fiddling about. A spooky card game just right for any party. Outrageous witch trials, wicked instruments, ghastly and catastrophic personal hygiene counts - what age could better fit to black stories as the Dark Ages? Part of the puzzles are based on historical events in this edition, some of them are from the medieval life.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 15.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
