About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for the Harvest Close Festival in the city of Zadash, but hold on, it's not all just partying! A vengeful threat targeting one of the Mighty Nein is about to throw a wrench into the celebration. Embark on an epic side quest, created in partnership with the Critical Role crew, which adds an RPG twist to this classic mystery game! Is Isharnai targeting Nott the Brave in 'The Invulnerable Vagrant'? Or does Captain Avantika have it out for Jester Lavorre in the 'Victory Pit'? Solve the mystery before the festival ends and save one of your own from a not-so-great fate! Help your favorite adventurers from Campaign 2 move between locations, gathering Rumor and Encounter cards to uncover: WHICH character token will reveal the member in danger, WHO is behind the spiteful plan, and WHERE they are planning to strike! It's a Clue game supercharged with the Critical Role vibe, perfect for those who enjoy mystery and want to feel like they're part of the adventure.
