Murder Mystery Party Game
It's New Year's Eve, 1924. Don and MeMe Wannabe are hosting their annual New Year's Eve Bash at their swanky joint, The Four Deuces, and you are invited to attend. It is sure to be the bee's knees! The cream, and not so cream, of society will be here. With gangsters, hitmen, politicians, jazz singers, molls, and many other interesting guests in attendance, many big deals will be made here tonight. This is the sequel to our popular Murder at the Four Deuces game.
Murder At The Four Deuces is a rip-roaring 1920s gangster murder mystery party game with plenty of plotting, bribery, and backstabbing to be had.
This game is loosely based on some of the very first Chicago and New York Gangsters, their rivalries, speakeasies, and love lives. Al Capone was still a bouncer, just moving up in the "Family."
For 10-20 Guests - with a minimum of 10 guests required and a max of 20, or up to 40 with our optional 2 Extra Character Packets.
This is our Download & Print version of Murder at the Four Deuces 2 - the sequel.
