Red Herrings: A Game of Planting Clues
You and several others have been invited to a murder mystery party in an old-money mansion.  When you saw the guest list, you realized the party could be exactly the opportunity you need to commit a real murder of your own, and slip away in the confusion. However, you’re not the only one. --- In Red Herrings, players move their pieces around the Clue board, searching for someone who has wronged them.
