Title: Assassin Game 4.0
Post by: Incognito on August 03, 2022, 09:04:52 PM
A faint glow of embers. A wisp of smoke. The officer pulled at his pipe once more as he took in the scene.

"What vile creature could do such a thing?" he muttered to himself. "Nothing like a bit of longbottom leaf to calm the nerves." He took another drag on his pipe before documenting the crime scene. The incognito killer has struck again!


The game is like Clue mixed with 20 questions. The rules have changed from the last game so pay close attention:

For this round I will limit the card pool to Towers Block (sets 4-6).
You will have 36 questions total, so you can use more on one of the four cards than the others:

Like last time, you stalwart detectives must determine:
1. Who the killer is
2. Who the victim is
3. The location the murder was committed
4. The murder weapon

Discussion amongst yourselves is encouraged. To submit an official question for me to answer, please use the following format:

[Killer/Victim/Location/Weapon] Question #[X]
[Question in yes/no format]

For example:

Killer Question #1
Is the killer a goblin?

Questions that are off limits:
-No questions pertaining to the collector info.
-No questions pertaining to culture or shadow/fellowship
-No questions pertaining to overall card type (minion, companion, possession, artifact, condition, event, etc.) for example, you cannot ask if the weapon is a possession, but you can ask if it is a hand weapon

After the questions, Each player can submit to me their accusation (guess of each of the 4 cards) through DM, and I will award the winners (first to DM me the correct card combo).

Let the chaos begin!

Its the two games. the game of Clue, and the Game mechanics of 20 questions. there will be more than 20 questions allowed. I edited for clarity. i hope. it is really irrelevant. i just wanted to make sure people understood the game. even if they hadn't been part of 3.0

It is a good question, and I'll allow it, but it is going to take me a bit to get back with you on that one. (i'm moving and its a bit of a #$&*@! show right now, and i need to check something in the movie against that questions. Feel free to ask non killer questions if you would like.

Killer Question #7: Does the Killer's card title contain "Hill", "Hillman", or "Wild", or is it unique?

So 'cause this is a strange one, the answer is yes if:
Title has "Hill" OR Title has "Hillman" OR Title has Wild OR the Killer is unque.
