Get your finest china ready, because Mrs. Lansdowne has been murdered! And the worst part? It happened right in the middle of her morning tea! In Elevenses: The Guilty Party, you aren't just a guest at a delicious snack; you might be a prime suspect or even the murderer trying to blend in. This game places you in a tense social situation where you have a dual objective: build the most impressive tea table filled with scrumptious treats or, if you're the culprit, ensure no one catches on to your crime. Each turn, you'll decide whether to feast on a card to trigger a special ability and boost your spread, or rearrange your tableau to set up for future moves. But it's not all about eating! While you're plating your food, you can also cast suspicion cubes on other guests to help the constable close the case. If you're innocent, your goal is to finish the party with the least amount of suspicion possible. However, if you're the murderer, your mission is to stay under the radar and get away with it. It's a fast-paced, lighthearted, and intrigue-filled game, perfect for those who love a good mystery without needing a thousand-page manual. It's the ideal game for a gathering of friends where everyone enjoys a bit of chaos and social deduction.
