Game played: Name of the Rose, The ( Ravensburger ) BGG Id: 35488

With seven of us this week, we split into two groups and four of us tried The Name of the Rose by the prolific Stefan Feld. This one is a game of secret identities where you try to divert suspicion for the gruesome murders that have taken place in the monastery away from your character and onto others. However, if you aren't subtle enough, you can bet the other players will work out who you are and pile the incriminating evidence on you. It's another clever game and had a really close finish. The accusations at the game-end were critical. I was in two minds as to whether Mark K was black or white and my coin toss came down on the wrong colour as did everyone else's allowing Mark to squeak the win.
