The premise is simple: one player (the storyteller) reads a macabre and grotesque riddle from a card, and the others try to figure out what on earth happened by asking questions that can only be answered with 'yes' or 'no'. The storyteller, in turn, reveals the full answer only at the end, after much investigation and guesswork. The most shocking part is that many of these stories are based on real events – yes, life is sometimes stranger (and funnier!) than fiction. Whether it's a stupid accident, a risky maneuver gone wrong, or a dare that turned into a nightmare, these bizarre situations guarantee chills and laughs. It's the perfect game for those who enjoy a good mystery with a touch of dark humor and aren't afraid of the morbid. Ideal for livening up parties, gatherings with friends, or even for passing the time on a trip, as it doesn't require a table. Each round, you challenge yourself to unravel what led to such a peculiar end, using deduction and creativity to connect the dots. If you like solving enigmas and having a good laugh at unusual situations, this edition of Black Stories is for you! ## FAQ ### How many people can play? The game is super flexible! It can be played by 2 people, but it truly shines with larger groups, up to 15 players. The more people, the more ideas and laughs! ### How long does a game take? Each mystery is quick, usually taking about 20 minutes to solve. You can play one round or several, depending on the time and the group's desire. ### Is it very difficult to play? Not at all! The rules are super simple: one reads, the others ask yes/no questions. The challenge lies in solving the mystery, not in learning how to play. ### Do I need a table to play? Not at all! It's a perfect game to play anywhere: on the bus, on the plane, at the beach, on the couch... you just need people and willingness. ### What comes in the box? It comes with a deck of 50 cards, each featuring a different mystery with the solution on the back. That's it, straight to the point! ### Is it similar to other mystery games? Yes, it's part of the Black Stories series. The difference is that this edition focuses on very unusual and often hilarious deaths and situations, with a touch of dark humor. ### Do I need to know English to play? The original English version has a lot of text on the cards. If you purchase the national version (from Galápagos), it comes in Portuguese and is fully playable without requiring another language. ## Price Comparison ### Best Offers in Brazil - **Amazon**: R$ 39,90 (https://www.amazon.com.br/dp/8568059082?tag=bgbot26b-20&linkCode=as2) - **Meca dos Jogos**: R$ 44,10 (https://www.mecadosjogos.com.br/historias-sinistras-mortes-hilarias-p639?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **Caixinha Boardgames**: R$ 44,55 (https://www.caixinhaboardgames.com.br/produtos/historias-sinistras-mortes-hilarias/?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **TabuLoja**: R$ 44,91 (https://www.tabuloja.com/board-games/jogos-base/historias-sinistras-mortes-hilarias?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **Taverna Real**: R$ 44,99 (https://www.tavernareal.com/tabuleiro/historias-sinistras-mortes-hilarias?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **Place Games**: R$ 46,39 (https://www.placegames.com.br/blackstoriesfunnydeath?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - See all on Compara Jogos: https://www.comparajogos.com.br/item/black-stories-funny-death-edition ### Best International Offers - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 14.03 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=1662782&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - See all on BoardGamePrices: https://boardgameprices.com/item/show/4566/mystery-detective-volume-2-funny-death-and-real-life-cases?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com
