Description
In society, whenever a crime has been committed, no matter how small, there is always evidence left behind. The evidence usually points to certain suspects. In this game, the players are all "simply suspects." What is unusual is that the suspects each have the opportunity to tamper with the evidence so that it points to other suspects.
If the evidence points to you when you meet the Grand Jury, you are eliminated from the game. While moving the evidence around, players must also try to hide their own identity - so other players don’t figure out which suspect they are. If a player discovers another player’s identity, they may point the finger at that player and eliminate them from the game.
Simply Suspects is a fast-action game of suspicion and finger pointing. Much like Spy Alley, Simply Suspects is deceptively simple yet surprisingly intense. The advantage that one player may appear to have can change with a single move. You are never sure which suspect will escape the Grand Jury and win the game.

Quotes (from this video)
- Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria. The Valeria games keep getting better as the time goes by and this was a pretty solid one.
- Ankh: Gods of Egypt. I know this is some people's favorite of the trilogy of Blood Rage, Rising Sun. It's not mine.
- Roll Through the Ages: The Bronze Age. There's a lot of great roll and writes out there. Um Yahtzee of course is one of the OGs, but this is also one of the original games and I think it holds up very well.
- So Clover. What a fantastic party game. This is one of those games that when you get it right, everyone at the table is just so excited that figured it out.
- Links. And this is from Play to Z. And this is about trapping links. I'm not I don't love the theme, but it and it but it felt like a stock market game. it just wasn't very fun.
- Mycology, a game about mushrooms. The guy who designed it loves mushrooms, but I don't know about the game.
- Queen's New Capital, I almost liked this one, but there's just too much going on in it. A little chaotic, and honestly, this Queen's New Capital has been replaced by ironically, the King's Crown.
- Wine Cellar, a game with really giant cards here. Kind of a drafting game. I don't think it works well the full count of players, but with every other count, I I enjoy this drafting game.
- The Other Links, uh this one here is about Tetris, dropping Tetris shapes into a thing, and that worked pretty well. I liked it.
- 12 Rivers has a gimmick of rolling marbles down. It's a fun gimmick. Um but it also has some good decision space. It's not a very complex game, easy for people who haven't played many games, I think they would enjoy it.
- Jungo or Jungo, I this is a great little, very simple card game. Um trying to get rid of all the cards in your hand, but sometimes picking up them so that you can play a bigger hand later on. Found that to be a lot of fun.
- Star Wars: Battle of Hoth. What a fantastic uh game. Star Wars: Battle of Hoth is Memoir '44 Star Wars, something I've wanted for years, and I finally got it. So exciting. And it was exactly what I wanted it to be.
