Overview

How could that have happened? Black Stories are fiddly, morbid and mysterious riddles for teenagers and adults. The players try to reconstruct the crime by asking, guessing and fiddling about. Only yes/no answers are allowed. A spooky card game just right for any party. This version of the black stories features real crime events. The box claims to include bonus material about offenders and offences, but there is no actual bonus booklet or anything like that. That only refers to slightly more detailed information on the backs of the cards as usual.
