Pros & Cons
Pros
Pasta & pistols game, then the mardi gras game too. Since the * mystery involves a winery i chose to invite friends over for a wine tasting coupled with this game.
The narration is online, which allows great portability. It demands that you stay in character and read specifically from the prompt which can get a bit too serious. I was blown away and was pleasantly surprised how great it ended.
The game comes with a guide for the planner/host that tells you the order in which things should happen. I was caught off guard and took 30 minutes trying to locate what to do online. The instructions are so easy to follow.
This new game modernizes the process and adds flexibility. I’d recommend if you have 8 assigning extra characters to whoever runs the game.
Cons
There were not clear instructions as to how to progress with game. You absolutely need 8 people for this game to work. No logic whatsoever.
The game has a good premise, however it's one play and done. The character booklets were not written in 1st person and were not clear. The plot has so many holes, i'm surprised they didn't include cheesey cheese puns in this.
Highlights
Quality

Packaging/appearance
We finished off the night with a mardi gras bundle cake and yes we hid a toy baby inside the cake

This was an unfortunate error but knowing the game is still great and playable without that first piece of information would have helped me immensely

So either request ahead of time for the pdf from the company or just skip it and play anyway it is completely doable to complete the game in a fulfilling way without that page of bo’s character booklet
