Das Bankett: Teil 1 – Der Raub des Diamanten von Ramanpur (2021)

About this game

This a cooperative detective story! From the beginning of the game you get all information (newspaper, interviews, links to websites etc.) and then you have to solve the case! The golden wedding of the Countess von Donnerswarth was to be an epoch-making event. A remote, noble hotel, exquisite guests and, to top it off, a banquet at which the countess would display her husband's gift: the legendary Ramanpur diamond. But that same night the precious gem inexplicably disappears from your hotel safe. Who among the guests knew the safe combination? Who had access to the crime scene? Who has usurped the gemstone unnoticed? Find the decisive clues in this circumstantial case and convict the thief or the thief of the diamond of Ramanpur. This game can be played independently of "Das Bankett - Teil 2"

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
