One More Thing

A Narrative Tabletop Game of Murder and Justice. Somebody has been murdered! The murderer, motivated by passion, envy, or greed, is sure they will get away with it. A detective is on the case, and quickly sees the truth of the matter. Both of them know that the murderer did it; the question is how to prove it. One More Thing is a two-player narrative tabletop game that tells compelling stories of criminals bought to justice, in the finest tradition of TV detective dramas from the 1970s to today. Your story begins with the murder, and continues as a back-and-forth drama playing out in the view of an imaginary television audience. The Murderer never gets away with it, but they can control how the audience sees them in the end. As you play you track the audience's reaction to the Murderer on the Audience Perception board. Do they view the murder as the act of a desperate person, or as a cold-blooded crime? You can play towards a particualar outcome, or let this perception follow the events of your story as they unfold, it works great either way! The Detective knows that the Murderer is guilty, but needs to build a case. They uncover Clues, interview witnesses, decide which Clues are the most important ones, and most importantly confront the Murder with what they've learned in order to shake their confidence and get them to slip up as they try to cover up what they've done. This is a two-player game, but it can be played in teams as well. It takes between one and two hours to play, depending on whether you choose to play in: Writers Room Mode, in which you create everything yourselves: the Murderer, their victim, what drives the murder, the Detective and their quirks, and all of the Clues involved. This mode is more of a freeform role-playing experience. On Assignment Mode, in which you choose one of the included Cases and get right into the game! Each Case gives you all of the details on the Murderer, Detective and the murder itself, as well as a predetermined set of Clues. This mode is more structured and supports learning this kind of game for those who haven't played one before. It's also good for shorter games!
