A New Game from France - Le Defifoo Noir

By Jasen Robillard

Le Défifoo Noir (subtitled Friday the 13th at the Castle) is a game inspired by Cluedo and Agatha Christie’s 12 Little Indians and is another game in the lineage of Werewolf. It is designed by Olivier Finet, principal designer at Défifoo SA. The game can accommodate 5 to 20 players and play time is estimated at 30 minutes.

Players are given a special role representing either an innocent guest at the castle or a sinister murderer. The players are invited to investigate the murders and hopefully throw the right suspect(s) in prison. In this game however, people are free to move around during the day phases and interact freely with one another, thereby using all of their senses to nab their victims/assailants. These negotiation phases however are timed and last only 3 minutes. Making things harder on the poor guests, the murders happen both at night and during the day over a maximum of 5 turns. The game components include the role cards, a pair of handcuffs (for the culprits), a timer and a bowtie for the Castle’s host (game overseer). The game is expected to be released very soon.
