Stich für Stich

STICH FÜR STICH combines trick-taking with crime deduction in a card game where 1 player knows the hidden trump cards for the culprit and the murder weapon. Across 7 tricks per case, the table works clue by clue through a tense investigation, with every played card pushing the sleuths closer to a verdict or further into the fog. The game is designed for 3-4 players aged 10 and above and runs for about 30 minutes. Its 55 game cards drive the trick play, while 16 suspect tiles, 28 weapon tiles, 4 racks and 1 investigation pad give each case a clear tabletop structure. Several criminal cases are played one after another, and the hidden-knowledge role shifts until all players have taken the part of the accomplice. That changing role creates a different task from case to case: mislead the table when holding the secret, then read the card flow and visible clues when returning to the investigation side. Markus W. Leon created the game, and Felix Wermke gives the suspects, evidence and weapons a playful crime-story look. STICH FÜR STICH suits a family game round, a friends' game night or a focused table session with players who enjoy deduction under pressure. The multilingual edition includes DE, GB, FR and IT, making it easy to bring to mixed-language groups or travel play sessions.
