Costume Party Detective
At a costume party, each player secretly controls one of twenty unique characters and tries to identify the other guests while keeping their own identity hidden. Players roll and move any character around the board, gathering information as guests mingle between rooms. When the black result appears, a character must either be removed from the room containing the player’s secret character or drawn from the character deck and removed from the party. After three such draws, the player must remove a character from their room. If their character is removed, they reveal their identity and are eliminated. The last player with a character in the game wins.
