About this board game
How to Host a Murder: The Last Train from Paris is an eight-player, 180-minute murder-mystery game set aboard a government train leaving Paris in June 1940.
German troops are about to enter the city, while the roads have become a hopeless snarl and the trains are packed with little space available. Remaining in Paris will not be pleasant, so the train carries passengers toward the safety of southern France.
During the journey, a murder is discovered. The passengers—your guests—must decide who committed the crime. The elegant refugees and the dramatic circumstances surrounding their flight from Paris provide the setting for this mystery.
The cast includes eight distinctive characters:
- Khover T. Ageante
- Princess Idelle Chattre
- Malcom R. Conntint
- Mary K. Trairie
- RAF Group Captain Weyland W. Awfcorce
- Barbra Z. Enhussie
- Duke Schwäzhe B.U. Klare
- Belinda Screete
With its tightly defined setting, full passenger list, and single central question, How to Host a Murder: The Last Train from Paris places the group in the middle of an urgent escape from the French capital. The train’s crowded conditions and the uncertainty surrounding the killing frame the evening as a dramatic investigation among refugees.
