You're Abelard Lavel, a knight with prophetic dreams guiding you to solve crimes in 15th-century Paris. Your unique ability to see past and future crime scenes lets you deduce mysteries others can't crack. This cooperative deduction game blends storytelling, investigation, and teamwork, where you and your allies (family members or your loyal dog) analyze clues, testimonies, and cryptic Vision Cards. These cards show scenes from past or future events, revealing key characters and objects. The game’s mechanics encourage asking characters for knowledge – like your monk uncle, merchant sister, or spy brother – while your dog tracks suspects with items. Part of 'The Millennium' series, it spans eras from 1400 to 2400, offering distinct themes but a unified system. Perfect for mystery fans who enjoy collaborative problem-solving, though it demands a group willing to engage deeply in the narrative and mechanics.
