Guilty: Houston 2015 (2024)

About this game

Someone has died in the county women's prison — and not just anyone, but Senator Kowalsky's daughter. You're heading to the prison now with a press conference scheduled for tomorrow at which you have to explain what happened, so you need to find answers over the next few hours. To start Guilty: Houston 2015, you'll read the introduction, then place the specified cards on the table. Choose a card, then turn it over and read it. What will you find there? Time will keep passing, possibly leading to surprises before you face the journalist pack at game's end to answer their questions as best as you can.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 99. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 16 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
