About the game
What you do in a play session
Crime Hotel is a trick-taking game with a dash of deduction. Each round, the players who played the highest and lowest cards get a chance to make a guess about the murderer's location. As more rounds pass, you get closer to the truth, and the tension only builds! The hotel rooms will 'light up' one by one, guiding your investigation. But beware: even if you know where the culprit is hiding, you need to be clever. Playing the right card (highest or lowest) is crucial to making your guess before anyone else. It's like solving a real crime: gather the clues, use your logic, and try to outsmart your fellow detectives. Do you have what it takes to catch the culprit in this shadowy hotel?
