Mystery of the Abbey

Today we go back to the wonderful world of board games.

There's a game called Mystery of the Abbey that has the feeling of the old classic Clue. A monk has been murdered! It's your job to figure out whodunit. You don't care where or with what weapon he committed the crime though, so the majority of the cards in your hand are monks. You want to see all the monks if possible.

Sometimes everyone gets to see one or more of these monks at the same time. When trying to keep track of all of this on your secret information sheet, I learned that it's a good thing to make note if everyone has seen a certain monk so that you don't unnecessarily ask about him as if he were still a culprit later in the game. I had thought I was avoiding that when we played tonight, but I was later informed (after losing) that I had slipped up twice in that area. (Next time, Brother Gadget! Next time!)
