Three Dead Strangers

Three Dead Strangers

2025

2 - 4 players
15 - 20 min

From BoardGameGeek

Three Dead Strangers is a card game with light social deduction elements. You play one of four characters invited to a mansion where three murders were committed. Your goal is to pin the murders on the other players while avoiding being blamed for the murders yourself! Three Dead Strangers utilizes domino-shaped cards each representing a character's motive, means, or opportunity to have committed a murder, played in an overlapping manner, creating a simple-to-understand yet surprisingly deep-to-play game. Players keep their character a secret, but once all three elements (motive, means, and opportunity) are in place for one of the characters, it's time to let the accusations fly as to which player you think was behind the heinous crime. The fun doesn't stop when a player has been successfully accused of being a murderer, as nobody is eliminated until the game is over, and the game isn't over until all three murders have been solved. Maybe one player killed all three dead strangers, or maybe each victim was done in by a different player. Nobody will know until the cards have been played! With an average gameplay time of 15 to 20 minutes, Three Dead Strangers is an amuse-bouche of a game, intended to be an appetizer to your main course of an evening of gaming. -description from the publisher
