Où étiez-vous? (2008)

About this game

In Où étiez-vous? (French for "Where were you?), two players are suspected to have committed a crime. The only way to get free is to create a good alibi. Suspects are isolated and they have 3 minutes to: 1- guess what questions the other players (the investigators) will ask them; And 2- invent and memorize answers to these questions. While this, investigators prepare their questions (about 10). After 3 minutes, the suspects are questioned by the investigators, but only one at the time! If they manage to give the same answers, their alibi his good and they win! If their answers are different, the Moderator declare them guilty and the investigators win!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 5 to 20.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
