Just another light party game, for a bit of a change. Of course some of use had moods that were either very close to another mood already on the board or are a bit covert to express both verbally & non-verbally.

There were some interesting word flips, like "vole" to "lover" to "clover" & "leaf" to "fetal." I'm surprised I did well since I usually can't think that fast to form a good word, let alone snatch one.

Team 1: Lori, Rick, Monique
Team 2: Kelly, Julie, Grace

After a practice round, Team 1 won 7-2.

I wasn't too familiar this game, but wanted to give it a whirl. The problem with this game is that you can either a) run out of investigation cards; or b) run out of coins for the investigation cards, needed to indicate which suspects (the letter cards in your hand) you can provide alibis for. And then you're stuck making a guess for who the 3 criminals are. Then again, when reading the directions (or translation thereof), it makes sense that this game can operate on score for correct guesses instead of first-player-to-guess-correctly based on the limited resources (cards/coins). But this game is pretty long, too, so I'd probably only recommend it for 3 of 3-6 players, and rate it a 5 out of 10 BGG score.

This is one game where (at least I think) it's equally interesting to watch the game as it is to participate in, though obviously the latter is more fun.
