About the Game

Once Upon a Crime is a party game based on the new "criminal storytelling" mechanic that combines deduction, bluffing and "StoryTelling" in a crime scenario. A player invents a crime by connecting a suspect, a motive, a weapon and a location using the cards on the table and reveals a single clue: who died. The other players must deduce the correct combination by choosing among 4 suspects, 4 motives, 4 weapons and 4 locations. But one or more of the players might be criminals, and they will try to trick them without getting caught.
