May 29, 2019

Coming this winter, from Modiphius Entertainment, is Agatha Christie: Death on the Cards. It’s a cooperative card game of whodunit, filled characters from the pantheon of the legendary author’s mystery novels. Granted, it will be cooperative for all but one of the players …because they’ll be a murderer! Agatha Christie: Death on the Cards will be for two to six players and play in around 30 minutes. No MSRP info is available yet but the game will be arriving in stores around this upcoming Christmas.

From Modiphius:

The world of beloved mystery author Agatha Christie will be translated into a tense but fun card game of mystery, bluffing and deduction – where everyone is guilty but only one of them is guilty of murder!

Agatha Christie – Death on the Cards is designed for 2-6 players and uses a beautifully illustrated deck of 80 cards. Players work cooperatively to solve a murder, using their detective skills to unmask the culprit and prevent their escape. The twist is that one of the players is the murderer and must work against the group to keep themselves hidden. Players also have dark secrets from their past they want to keep hidden from the other players.

Who can you trust?

In bringing the game to life the design team at Modiphius Entertainment drew on the rich literary history of Agatha Christie’s gripping stories. Detective Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Harley Quin & Mr Satterthwaite, Parker Pyne, Lady Eileen ’Bundle’ Brent, Tommy & Tuppence and Ariadne Oliver all feature within the game seeking to find the murderer. Collect sets of these familiar characters to help reveal each player’s secrets.
