Description:
The peaceful Templars' Abbey is a rare haven of tranquility for road weary travelers. And so you found it when you arrived late last night. That serenity was shattered this morning with the discovery of the lifeless body of Brother Adelmo at the foot of the Monastery's cliffs. Did the usually nimble-footed Brother slip to his death? Or did someone help him in his fall? Mystery of the Abbey is a new kind of "whodunit" game of deduction and intuition, set in a medieval abbey. Players compete and collaborate to solve the mystery by moving through the Abbey's beautifully rendered board and questioning their brethren. Gameplay is in turn fun, captivating and tense; the atmosphere, vivid; the immersion, complete. Constant interactivity between the players, intelligent questioning and dynamic intrigue make Mystery of the Abbey the game of choice for an hour of fun with friends and family alike. Players 3 - 6; Ages 8+; Time: 60-90 minutes

Great Family Board GameDec 13, 2007 Mystery of the Abbey is a great mystery game for the whole family. We have played it numerous times with anywhere from 3-6 players (from age 13-70), and it is a lot of fun every time. The premise of the game is to use deductive reasoning to figure out who murdered one of the monks. It takes about 10 minutes to learn how to play the game, and about an hour to complete it.
All contents of the game box, including the board, pieces, and suspect sheets, are high-quality and help create the Abbey setting. However, it is the action cards that continually add twists making each game a unique experience.
Days of Wonder does provide a link on their website which allows you to print out new suspect cards in full color if you use all the ones. If you like Clue, you will like Mystery of the Abbey.

Less than I had hoped, but better than averageDec 28, 2005 Days of Wonder seems to focus on making really good games: Games that you can explain in five minutes, that take about an hour to play, and that are actually fun.
Better than Clue (because, really, if you were the killer, wouldn't you know?), Mystery of the Abbey is based on the same sort of premise: Using the process of elimination, find the killer. The suspects fall into a number of categories, and everyone tries to win points and figure out who did it before everyone else. We like the design of the abbey, and the functions of the different rooms.
Although the pieces and board are beautiful, and well-designed (a hallmark of Days of Wonder), we were disappointed with the tear-off, single-use score sheets - what are we supposed to do when we run out? Couldn't they have devised a re-usable system? The question/answer phase was often useless and tedious. Also, we've deliberately lost the card that requires you to chant for four turns.
