Deception: Murder in Hong Kong (Game the Game)

Guests Pisha Warden, Melanie Bowman, Erik Beck, Johnny Recher and Paula Deming come together with host Becca Scott to solve a murder. Will they find the criminal? Or will the culprit get away unscathed in Deception: Murder in Hong Kong by Grey Fox Games?

Tabletop games are super fun, but learning the complicated directions and rules can be a challenge. Becca Scott is your game tutor, explaining the game mechanics in an easy to follow way, so you can get to playing the games faster.

Paula's catchphrase should've been "I am the witness, and you can trust me, because I'm being very obvious about it."

[SuperPostin]

For those who kinda wanna play along, skip to 10:38 to not know who the murderer, accomplice, or witness are

[tahmeed]

At 3:53 she says the Forensic Scientist will point first to the Murderer and then to the Accomplice, but the rules say they are pointed at together. Basically the witness is not supposed to know who's the Murderer and who's the Accomplice between the 2

[AaronShegrud]

From the Witness description - "They have no way of knowing which is the Murderer and which is the accomplice and they do not know how the crime was committed"

[nickcampbell]

At 21:29 you said "And technically you can pull Location [of Crime] or Cause of Death"
Though the rules say
"The Forensic Scientist draws a new tile from the draw pile. This tile replaces one of the previously used Scene tiles except "Location of Crime" and "Cause of Death".

This is one of the things you do differently from the rules that may affect your games in the future.

Also, I think it is clearer in Chinese of what everything means, because the phrase 畸形 can only mean that person is borned disfigured, but the word disfigured can mean both after the murder or that person was borned disfigured

I saw this at my LGS the other day. Looks cool! I would love to see this played with 12 people though.

This is a really fun game. I played with some friends for the first time and actually won as a witness! I nudged them to find the murderer and accomplice and I didn't get killed! Haha. Thanks for the vid!

[ImaginaryMdA]

Lol, Witness was pretty obvious.
3 people keep guessing and only one is consistently spot on, XD

[jarrellsanchez]

"Is it Becca with the radiation or Becca with the hook?" Neither, it's [Becca] with the good hair.

[theDiRTYeightSUPER]

Rules wrong. You don't say who the murderer and accomplice is to the witness. You point to both and don't say anything..

[EmmaBonn]

I love how this game makes stories of murder. The classic mean girl sulfuric acid face disfigurement.

Becca did a very good job explaining the rules of the game, and it was very fun to watch the playthrough. I like this format much more than Tabletop's, because it has a better flow to it. First, a complete rules explanation and then just the game being played. What I didn't like so much about Tabletop (still a fan) was that it was heavily edited and the camera kept going away from the table and into the players monologues too much. Very good job, looking forward to watching more of the series!

Why on earth did Erik get rid of the disfigured clue? It seemed more obvious to eliminate the location as everyone was getting too tied up on that, not sure what the other cards have as possibilities (relationship wouldn't have helped point to glue I guess) but disfigured was ideal for reinforcing the acid.

[nickst.laurent]

You can create a link in the info card to the previous videos on how to play rather than reiterating it in the actual game. This creates more unique content and also gets right to the action

Paula introduced me to the great Zeus School YouTube channel the first time she was on here, and this is the 3rd time i remember her being on here. Paula is always the so entertaining!

Happy Birthday\Belated Birthday Keep up the great work.

[timkelly]

With my group we always leave out the witness and the murderer can pick 2 cards from any group (2 cards have to be in the same group though). A lot more fun and challenging.

[TimothyWhiteowl]

why the hell would he remove disfigured... it's fricken acid.

[johnodonnell]

Great show! Really bring the game to life. Fair play Becca + co!
