I never really played any murder mystery games but enjoy watching documentaries about such topics. What are your recommendations?

MicroMacro: Crime City is excellent. Can’t recommend it enough.
I found Deception: Murder in Hong Kong to be really disappointing. At the time it had stellar reviews but I found it really frustrating. I don’t know who had the idea to use the tiniest possible cards on a game that is best with 6-8 people. It’s a game for ants.
Cool, thanks for the suggestion! How replayable is MicroMacro after solving the 16 cases?
You don’t destroy or mark anything so you can replay or borrow it at any time. However, once you know the solution to the puzzle it’s pretty much ruined. My shitty memory forgets the solution so I replay the missions once in a while when introducing the game to a new person.
We like Mysterium a lot, it is very similar to Dixit if you’ve played it. I could never get into ultimate werewolf though, the one night thing always made it just feel like chance to me.
Oh interesting! Dixit I have played but its not a very complicated game. Does mysterium add some more complexity?
Yeah, a bit, it’s still a somewhat basic but I enjoy this more. One player is a ghost and the other players are working semicollaboratively to identify the room, suspect and murder weapon with in the first instance each player having to identify a set of the three. The ghost has the three pre allocated for each player so then it’s giving out hint cards for the players to identify the correct thing, which is itself a card. The ghost can’t talk so can only communicate through the hint cards. Once all three have been identified for each player there is then a voting to try to identify the right set based on more hint cards with players seeing only a limited selection depending how well they did on the first phase.
I hope this makes sense, I can explain more if it’s helpful!
Super helpful! Thanks a lot! I guess its most fun with many people :)
