What kind of game is this?

Dead Man's Hand is a small detective game in a compact box. The story takes place on a riverboat on the Mississippi. After an illegal poker game and a diamond heist, someone is dead. Six passengers are suspects.

You play the detective. You figure out who had which weapon, what criminal past they were hiding, and what cards they received. You can work alone or together with others to solve the case. So you don't have to play against each other.

How do you play?

You work through the case file step by step. The box contains everything you need:

  • Story and evidence: you read the introduction, the case file notes and the evidence.
  • Combining clues: you figure out which passenger belongs with which weapon, past and cards.
  • Playing cards: you reconstruct the poker hands from that night.
  • Help: if you get stuck, there are hints and solutions in the box.

Example: a statement tells you what a passenger had with them. This allows you to rule out a suspect or establish a hand.

You win if you find the culprit before they jump overboard.

Why is it fun?
  • Find the culprit yourself You play the detective and draw your own conclusions. Every clue brings you closer to the answer.
  • Cards match the story You use real playing cards to recreate the suspects' poker hands. This way, the theme is part of the puzzle.
  • Small and convenient Everything is in one compact box. You can play it anywhere and don't need the internet.
