This one knows better.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr Walton is dead in his own mansion and the household is full of people with reasons. You need four answers — who, how, why, and whether anyone helped — and you get at them by interrogating suspects, leaning on the staff, walking the crime scene and reading the police reports. What makes it work is the Brilliant Deck System: the box holds thirty cases, and a free companion app generates up to a thousand more, each one reachable through a different spread of cards. You will not play the same game twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe real mechanism is trade. Information lives on cards you hold, and the only way to get what you need is to give something away — so every round is a negotiation where you are trying to hand over the clue that helps you most and them least. It has been fairly described as Catan's trading grafted onto a murder, and the comparison holds. Forty-five minutes at a tight table, well past an hour at eight, and it takes a full game before anyone trades well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e The one in your group who works out the twist twenty minutes in and cannot keep their face still about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1–8 players | 45–75 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Megacorpin Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49699102326936,"sku":"AG01","price":78.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/8381\/9672\/files\/AwkwardGuests_box800width.png?v=1786948569","url":"https:\/\/www.cartellgames.com.au\/products\/awkward-guests-the-mr-walton-case","provider":"Cartell Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
