When all 3 of your secrets are revealed you are frozen out of the game unless you are the murderer in which case you’ve been rumbled.

They're all amusing and encourage tactical play, but one of the coolest/cruellest ways of cutting to the heart of the matter is a 'devious' card.

It becomes a race against time, with the innocent players working to figure out who the murderer is by uncovering each other's secrets. That shamed player still participates and can share victory if the murderer's identity is discovered.

When it comes to presentation, Death on the Cards satisfies even if it does come up a little simple. an unusual amount of cards to reduce the draw deck or playing an event card that forces more cards to the discard pile. As the ‘Murderer’ your aim is to either use up the play deck until the ‘The Murder Escapes’ card is revealed, or get everybody else to reveal all their ‘Secret’ cards.
