Mystery Express
A murder occurs aboard a luxury passenger train and players investigate the crime as the journey progresses from Paris to Istanbul. Players gather clues from fellow passengers and the conductor, use deductive reasoning and special investigator abilities, and take actions to collect information about who, what, when, where, and why. The game rewards precise logical deduction as players narrow down possible scenarios. The player who identifies the most correct elements of the crime by the end of the trip wins.

Taha Afyouni4.6 I like the deduction part of this game, but I found the clock phase very frustrating.
Tom6.5 A very good deduction game - possibly one of the best I've ever played in this genre.
