Epäillyt

The Suspects

A businessman called Edvard Falk has been murdered, players investigate and must find the culprits, one from each group – rich men (blue), women (ed) and workers (green), in each group there are four suspects. TO solve the crime you use clue and alibi tiles, for each culprit there are three clue tiles on the board, for innocents a maximum of two. Alibi tiles are only present for innocents. If you collect three clue tiles for a person, this person is established as a culprit.

The clue and alibi tiles are sorted by person and then according to exact rules either partly left in the box or shuffled and distributed on the board, of course all face down.

In each round you can either place a new detective on the board by turning up one of your city tiles or do actions with one of the detectives. Action must always be done in a fixed order: use action tile, use the streetcar and exchange information. You can leave out an action or do one action several times. Alibi and clue tiles can only be reached by movement with action tiles along blue lines. To exchange information you must meet another detective and pay with any clue tile. Then you can ask for a clue tile. The other player must hand you a tile for this person, if he has not got one, he can hand you one of the same colour without naming the person. If he has no tile of the colour, he must say so. If you arrest the culprits at their job locations, you win.

Epäillyt is a very attractively made with period components with short rules and simple basic mechanisms, the fixed number of culprits is an interesting feature.
