Modiphius MUH051795 Agatha Christie Death on The Cards, Mixed Colours

Product Information

Her stories have been endlessly adapted for TV and film, and more than 130 years since her birth she remains one of the most popular mystery authors ever to put pen to paper. A review copy of Agatha Christie - Death on the Cards was provided to TheGamer by Modiphius Entertainment. It’s a typical Christie-style setup: a murky morass of dark deeds and deceptions where everyone has things they’d rather the rest of the world didn’t know about.

The villain in the action-adventure film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade warns hero Indiana Jones: "Don't trust anybody". We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

Players use Event and Detective cards to reveal secrets, with the murderer hoping to run out the shared deck of these cards.

Because there isn’t a ton of variety in the mechanic cards, there was a high chance you’d just end up with a card you were already holding in your hand.And that's the best bit about Death on the Cards: even though bluffing plays its part, the core loop is strong enough to keep you engaged no matter whether your poker face is good or not. Designed by Dr Tomas Rawlings of Auroch Digital, Death on the Cards aims to bring the feeling of the classic novels to the tabletop. The card quality is good, if not outstanding and the artwork is certainly in keeping with the tongue-in-cheek 1930s theme.
