Review: If you like "Clue" but wanted to have more social interaction, BUY THIS GAME!!! - AMAZING!! MY WHOLE FAMILY LOVES IT!! It's a Great deduction game where you try to figure out the murderer among the players. PROS: -Easy to learn -Plays great with a party or family -Very fast once everyone knows what to do -Allows for people to role-play in a sensible way -You can choose to play with basic or advanced cards which helps change the social dynamic of the game CONS: -The Forensic Scientist has to be careful not to give away the murderer by talking, but once you understand how to play this role, it isn't difficult. -The theme is very basic modern crime and some of the cards are hard for younger children to understand. I would recommend only for middle-schoolers and above or have an older person help. The basic way it plays: One person is secretly chosen as the murderer with randomly dealt role cards while everyone else is an investigator. Then, they secretly tell the chosen forensic scientist (who is on the investigator team) their murder weapon and evidence cards (in front of them face-up) while everyone else' eyes are closed. Then the game begins.... How does the murderer blend in with the investigators? Well, everyone has 4 unique weapon cards and 4 unique evidence cards face-up in front of them and no one knows who's who besides the forensic scientist... and the culprit. The catch is... the Forensic Scientist CANNOT GIVE ANY VERBAL HINTS, CLUES, OR EVEN CONSULT WITH THE OTHER INVESTIGATORS. the only thing they are allowed to do is place markers on tiles noting: The Cause, The Location, and The Motive of the Killing along with 3 other random clue tiles (If the murderer had 'Water' as their chosen 'Weapon' card, the FS would put the clue marker on 'drowning' on the 'Cause of Death' tile, etc.) The FS puts out more of these tiles as the game goes on for 2 more rounds. In each round, After the clues are marked, every player can make a 30 second case of who they think the Killer is and what single weapon and evidence pieces they had picked in front of them. Even the murderer can do this and try to throw the other players off their tracks (lots of fun). To win as the investigator, you have to make a correct ACCUSATION. How? At anytime during the game, ANY PLAYER EXCEPT THE FORENSIC SCIENTIST can use their badge token to guess the killer, weapon, and evidence correctly. If the guess is completely correct, then the forensic scientist says "Yes" and the investigators win immediately. If the guess isn't correct or only partially correct, the forensic scientist answers with "No" and the player loses their badge token. They lose their only chance of outing the murderer. If all the players made accusations and everyone was incorrect, the Murderer wins. It's what I always wanted the board game "Clue" to be: A social murder mystery where you feel like you are part of the story. Lots of fun and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR PARTY GAMERS.
Review: New additions add a much needed challenge!! Fantastic Expansion!! - To start off, I would like to profess my love of the original version of this game. When I first played this with a group of friends at a Christmas party a few years ago, it blew us all away. It's such an immersive and interactive party game unlike any other. It truly gets your methodical brain going for the good guys, and your game-face and acting abilities going if your'e the bad guys! I can't tell you how many hours upon hours I have played this game, and how many circles of friends I have introduced this to, who all fell in love with it just as I did. That being said! After you play the original game so many times, you do kind of get to boil it down to a science. When you really have a firm grasp of all the different weapons and clues and scenarios, it becomes noticeably favorable for the investigators to narrow down their suspect and eventually deduce what the killer used for his or her crime. Eventually you start implementing house rules and game variants to try to make it harder for the investigators to catch the murderer. IN COMES 'UNDERCOVER ALLIES' TO THE RESCUE!! Wow, what a breath of fresh air! This game adds just the right amount of elements I feel the original needed to keep it fresh, explore new ways to enjoy the game, but also keep the core elements of what made the original so great. Again the new roles add just the right amount of balance that this game needed to make it a much less one-sided game for the good guys. Not only that but because there are more roles to play, more people get a chance to interact with the game in their own unique way, other than just being a standard investigator like everyone else. Also it helps out a lot that they have added a bunch more evidence and weapon cards to the mix. I really feel like they hit the nail on the head with this expansion, as far as ironing out any problems the original may have had. Like I said, they added just enough new elements to keep it fresh, balanced, and unique, while still keeping the core of the game that makes it so much fun. I am truly a big fan of this expansion, and I can't wait to play it again and again with my groups of friends! As far as the physical contents goes, there are a few things to note. One is that the role cards are all crispy clean fresh! Awesome, right?! Well, not so much if the original game you own is weathered and worn down, because now your crispy new expansion roles will be among your worn down original roles, and it might give away who has what if people take notice. An easy fix for this is to get card sleeves for your role cards. As far as packaging your new cards in with your original box, there should be plenty of room for your evidence, weapon, and role cards, but there seem to be a few too many clue tiles. You can still get it to fit int he box, but it's a little cramped, as the tiles will overflow a little bit. I believe the kickstarter box for the expansion is big enough. Bummer for those of us who didn't kickstart it though! It's not a big deal though. Exclusive Kickstarter role** The kickstarter included an extra role that you can easily implement yourself. That is the "Clever Accomplice" which replaces the normal accomplice. The rules for the clever accomplice are the same as the the original accomplice BUT as an extra level of difficulty, the clever accomplice chooses a piece of evidence and a weapon from a DIFFERENT character than the murderer. If these 2 pieces are ever accused of being the murderer by someone, the murderer team automatically wins the game. So the idea is for the clever accomplice to choose 2 things that are very similar to what the murderer has, in order to get people to guess that instead. Pretty sneaky!! Pros: -More Weapons and Evidence cards -More roles make it more fun for larger games -Game Is much more challenging for investigators to win (It's a fair fight now, as opposed to investigators always winning) -One of the best party games ever made Cons: -New role cards give themselves away in an old deck. You'll need card sleeves to hide this -Adds elements that might make it TOO challenging for the investigators, but luckily there are several new way to tone down and adjust the difficulty. -New tiles done quite fit in the box perfectly. Not a big deal though, just a little overflow If you're a fan of the first game, or even if you've never played the first game, you will absolutely LOVE this game. Your friends won't stop talking about how much they love this game. So much more involved than your typical party game. There's just no end to the fun you'll have!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: No way two can play?**
A: Actually, you probably could play this with two players but it would lose the traitor aspect and social deduction aspects of the game-- basically watering it down to interpreting clues. Deal out the cards for 3+ players.  The person guessing (detective) will close their eyes while the Forensic Scientist will choose which set of cards the "murderer" is along with choosing which 2 cards to use (the clue and murder weapon).  Once this is done, the detective will open their eyes and wait for the clues.  After seeing all the clues the Forensic Scientist gives, the detective can take a guess or ask for more help (new clue)-- Each time the forensic scientist replaces a board, it adds "1 point"...each time the forensic scientist moves a pawn to a new location on the same board it adds "1 point"...and each time the detective makes an incorrect guess it adds "2 points".  Try and team up (forensic scientist giving clues...detective trying to find the murder) and see how low of a score you can have when you solve the case!again, it takes out the treachery, lying, and social deduction....so it is a very watered down version of the game, but you can still play it with 2 people if it is played this way.

**Q: Can somebody told me is there Chinese printed on the card or just English? Thanks!**
A: All cards include both Chinese and English. See image at http://gamer-goggles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/dec.png

**Q: 99.99?!Is there something wrong with the price?**
A: The game sold out on the Grey Fox Games website, so that price was probably some 3rd party being ridiculous and overcharging.

**Q: How can i know the amount of shipping fee?**
A: Amazon prime is free shipping 😁

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Game!!
*by E***C on July 27, 2019*

Deception Murder in Hong Kong is such a fun game, especially if you have a big group! This is easily one of my groups favorite board game. The game is pretty simple, but having someone to clarify questions is greatly helpful. All of the aspect of this game is amazing. Pros: -Great for a group game (I prefer playing it with 6 or more players, but you can easily play it with 4-5.) -Even though everyone has one change of accusing someone they can still have a presence in the game -Well constructed cards and and great graphics (However the graphics can be interpreted in many ways making the game more creative and fun) Cons: -Key evidence and Means card are very small (I would've prefer a tad bigger card) -Too many interpretations (Even though the interpretations make the game more unique, it can cause a lot of confusion) -Easily repetitive (Don't get me wrong this game is very playable for many times, but I do feel like if you play too many games in a row the game play gets a bit stale. There are variations to make it more challenging to keep it from getting stale, but personally after 3+ hours it gets too repetitive) Overall my impression of this game is a solid 5/5. It is a very fun social deduction game and has many unique aspect to the game that is great for a group setting. One key idea to keep in mind when first playing is having the most experience/knowledgeable player be the Forensic Scientist as they can greatly direct the game play in a successful matter.
