Black Stories: Shit Happens Edition (2013)

About this game

How could that have happened? 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. Only yes/no answers are allowed. A spooky card game just right for any party. This edition features black stories that really happened. It contains 50 stories, written by life, which are mostly absurd.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 15.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 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.
