I heard this was tough to figure out in the beginning and was hesitant to pick it up but this review has changed my mind. This looks like it could be a lot of fun. It's interesting that shooting and stabbing are reserved for 5 or 6 player games. Thanks for doing (clear) close ups of the pieces too!
We read the rules 3 times before we thought about looking it up on YT. Your review really made the rules come together. The game was still a bit confusing the first time, however the end of the game was well worth it. We actually had a tie and had to go to the telegram to decide the winner. Good game. Thank you once again. Keep the reviews coming
Sweet Review man. I love Days of Wonder Games and i usually am comfortable just buying them without even playing them because i trust them that much. But its great to get a review like this before i buy. I think i will like this better than mystery of they abbey, but mystery of the abbey is really fun when you are in the right mood for it with the right people. The card passing in mystery of the abbey makes it so confusing and i never understood if you were allowed to ask if they have seenacard

I was looking for a game that was harder than clue to play with some friends and I found this video, and you have convinced me to buy this game. :)

Mystery of teh abbey only works well with 5 or 6 players, stands Ok to a 4 player game but no way is enjoyable as a 3 player.
Orient express seems to have managed to make it work with less players. Would like to try it before adding it to my colletion.

Which one do you all think is better, Mystery of the Abbey or Mystery Express? I was a bit disappointed in Mystery of the Abbey.
As always, fantastic job Tom!
