Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

#WhatDidYouPlayMondays Whitehall Mistery

@boardgames@sopuli.xyz @geekygoodies@mastodon.world #boardgames

Longish hidden movement game (think Fury of Dracula) with a very simple gameplay. Compared to the predecessor, Letters from Whitechapel, this title has been greatly streamlined. Mum and dad caught me a few steps away from my last kill ​:blobcat_sad:​ Right now I am waiting for Beast to be delivered, as I am trying to get more into the genre

Ohhh I love the premise of letters from whitechapel! Uhhh the gameplay not the murder of prostitutes 😅

The basic play of the game is so simple but man the buildup before you get to the actual chase is such a chore. The whole secret setup for the victims and officers and then then Jack being able to wait to buy time while the officers move the victims around feels bloated as heck.

Most times we play we just skip all that nonsense, Jack picks a victim and then the chase is on.

You should take a look at the game OP played, Whitehall Mystery is a newer game than Letters from Whitechappel and is a bit simpler and faster though the premise is about the same
