A Brief Overview of Three Dead Strangers

Three Dead Strangers is a card game for 2-4 players which 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. With an average gameplay time of 15 to 20 minutes, it is an amuse-bouche of a game, intended to be an appetizer to your main course of an evening of gaming.

You play as one of four survivors, either the intrepid Shelby Sinclair, the aristocratic Thomas Blauden, the cut-throat Vernon St. Oakes, or the mysterious Dowager Duchess. One or more of you may be a murderer, and it is up to you to marshal enough evidence to prove that other players committed the foul deeds.

Your goal is simple: gather evidence that the three murders were committed by one or more of your fellow survivors while cleverly keeping your opponents from accusing you of the same. You must get evidence of your opponent’s motive, means, and opportunity for having committed a murder and then successfully accuse them of committing that murder by correctly matching that player with their character.

Your identity is a secret, so play smart to keep them guessing. The longer you can keep your opponents guessing at your identity, the safer you are from their false accusations and the more suspicion you can direct towards the other players!

Three Dead Strangers is coming soon to Kickstarter, so watch this space for more information!
