In this second chapter of the Suspects line, players embody detective Claire Harper at different stages in her life: from her school days, to tranquil Swiss lakes, as well as the first post-war Olympic Games!

Claire Harper was born in 1910. She is an avid reader of Agatha Christie, a world traveller, and more British than 5 o’clock tea. Oxford University admitted her after implementing quotas for female students in 1927. She followed in her father’s footsteps and graduated with the key to unlocking her dreams: a degree in criminal law. Now Claire Harper investigates, observes, discovers, and thwarts. There’s no mystery that is too twisted for her brilliant mind, no case that’s too hard for her to crack. Claire Harper isn’t just a detective. She’s the very best.

In each chapter of Suspects, you will read Clue cards to progress through the plot like a book, discuss and reason amongst yourselves, and form hypotheses. Your goal is to score the most points when you answer the questions about the case. The "faster" you answer (i.e. having drawn and read as few Clue cards as possible), the more points you will score.

In Suspects: Adele and Neville, Investigative Reporters, the third chapter of the Suspects line, players embody Adele and Neville, a pair of investigative reporters tasked with solving intriguing murder mysteries.

A match made in heaven on the scene of the crime and in their personal lives, Adele and Neville met in New York, studying journalism at Columbia University. While Adele is passionate about capturing moments in photos, Neville prides himself on writing ever more impactful articles.

In the heart of the 1960s, this couple travels around the world to document the events of their time...and solve the mysteries they encounter. United in the face of mysteries and crimes, investigative reporters Adele and Neville have only one credo: publish the truth!

In Kemet: Blood and Sand, the gods of Ancient Egypt war with each other in epic battles using every tool at their disposal. Some are even willing to consult the Book of the Dead, seeking forbidden knowledge of the Beyond, and the ability to call upon darker, more powerful, and more dangerous powers…

Thanks to the Book of the Dead expansion, you have access to some of the most powerful power tiles in the entire Kemet: Blood and Sanduniverse. However, access to this terrifying knowledge comes with a cost, as you will have to sacrifice your units to feed the Beyond. By doing so, you'll sink into putrefaction, lose more and more prestige over your opponents, and even part with your precious victory points. This is the price to pay for access to such fearsome abilities and the most frightening of possibilities. Perhaps you will learn to summon the monstrous Apophis, a being of pure evil that dwells in the Underworld. Perhaps you can bend the all-knowing Thoth, the repository of the dark knowledge, to your will. If you are prepared to pay the high price for consorting with such dark forces, they will be formidable allies in your conquest of the black lands of Kemet: Blood and Sand.

Gameplay

The sorcerer will decide the order of the next turn, and the villagers are placed on the board to become transporters or scupltor.

Styling your Moais will allow you to exchange resources to acquire Offering tiles. Atthe end of a round, if the number of ahu with no Moai is less than or equal to the number of players, the game ends,The winner is the player with the most victory points earned thanks to the Offering and Outstanding Offering tiles.

In Kemet, players each deploy the troops of an Egyptian tribe and use the mystical powers of the gods of ancient Egypt – along with their powerful armies – to score points in glorious battles or through invasion of rich territories. A game is typically played to 8 or 10 victory points, which may be accrued through winning attacks, controlling temples, controlling fully-developed pyramids, sacrificing to the gods, and wielding particular magical powers.

The conquest for the land of Kemet takes place over two phases: Day and Night. During the day, choose an action amongst the nine possible choices provided by your player mat and perform it immediately. Once every player has taken five actions, night falls, with players gathering Prayer Points from their temples, drawing Divine Intervention cards, and determining the turn order before the start of the new day.

As the game progresses, they can use Prayer Points to acquire power tiles. Some of these enroll magical creatures and have them join their troops. In addition to intimidating enemies, these creatures provide special powers!

Detailed miniature components represent the combat units and the supernatural creatures that are summoned to enhance them. Combat is resolved through cards chosen from a diminishing six-card hand and enhanced by bonuses.
