You`ve been murdered! Well, almost, you're not dead yet, so you want to communicate the identity of who the killer is, but you have a limited number of tools to make that happen: a small number of cards with obscure marks on them and...yourself. Yes, your dying body. Maybe you can arrange the cards in some manner to convey information. Maybe your still fingers can point to, or obscure, parts of the cards to increase the clarity of your dying thought. If the clues are easy to understand, they will be destroyed by the culprit; if they are difficult, they will not be communicated to anyone, and your death will not be avenged, so leave an exquisite dying message. The other players in Dying Message are detectives, and they make inferences based on the limited information available. Detectives can co-operate or confront one another, and whether the deduction turns out to be good or bad will depend upon their discussion.

Madison ★★★★★

The core idea of trying to pass a cryptic message about your killer with so few clues is pure genius. I love that the game forces you to be clever with just a couple of cards, and it's been a huge hit at our game night.

Joshua ★★★★☆

The little card with the killer list is clever, but we had to house-rule the clue-crafting limit after two rounds of us just staring at each other. Still, it’s got a nice tabletop feel and the deduction tension is real once you get past that first learning game.
