Only Murders in the Building: The Game

If you’re into detective shows and want a game that blends investigation with tile‑placement strategy, look no further: Only Murders in the Building: The Game.

The game is light on weight, featuring components such as colorful tiles, clue cards, and detective tokens that bring the setting to life.
