Expansion Black Sonata: The Fair Youth
Honors 2017 Golden Geek Best Print & Play Board Game Nominee

For more than four centuries scholars have argued over the identity of the mysterious Dark Lady of William Shakespeare's sonnets. According to the sonnets, the Dark Lady seduced the poet and held him in an agonised thrall while also conducting an affair with the Fair Youth whom Shakespeare also loved.

In Black Sonata you will find yourself in Shakespeare's London, circa 1600, in pursuit of the shadowy Lady. A specially ordered deck of cards determines her hidden movements from place to place. You must deduce her location and then intercept her to catch a glimpse and gain a clue to her identity. You will need several clues to deduce her identity, but with each clue gained the Lady becomes harder to track. Black Sonata combines hidden movement and logical deduction into a unique solitaire steeped in literary history.

Can you finally solve English literature's greatest mystery? Or will the Dark Lady elude you, melting from your grasp like a curl of smoke and promises?

Good solo deduction!

Black Sonata was the first solo deduction game I tried that was mechanical, rather than story-solution based (such as Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective). It works really well, as long as you're not one of those types that memorizes cards and sequences and such (I am not). It's fairly straight-forward to play, tiny footprint and box, and overall, it's good and fun. There is also an expansion that I would love to get.
