Epäillyt

Published 2009

Epäillyt (The Suspects) is a detective game located in Helsinki in 1930s. Players try to solve which three of the twelve characters in the game have committed a murder. There are three categories of characters (wealthy men, women, and laborers), and one guilty character is found in each of the categories. The piquancy of the game is that Epäillyt has clear beginning, middle, and end phases. It is important to collect alibi and clue tiles in the beginning, and when entering the middle phase, players use the information they have gained as a medium of exchange to gain more information. In the end phase, the success lies in positioning one's detective pieces correctly and being able to manage the first phases of the game better that the other players. This game was published in Finland in 2009. The German edition located in old Dresden is coming in 2010!
