Black Stories
A set of short, morbid riddles presenting mysterious death scenarios and puzzling crimes. Players read cryptic case cards and ask yes/no questions, propose explanations, and piece together the sequence of events through deduction and conversation. The group cooperates to reconstruct how each unusual outcome occurred, using limited clues and logical inference. Cards vary in theme from accidents and suicides to murders and bizarre fatalities, intended for teen and adult groups at social gatherings.

I really don't get the stories, most of them are nonsense
Viciados6.0 Good game if players have initiative. Otherwise each play takes hours
