About Death on the Cards

Death on the Cards is an Agatha Christie-inspired murder mystery card game where everyone is a suspect, but only one player is the true killer. Together, you’ll investigate, question, and play your cards carefully to reveal the murderer before time runs out.

Each card adds tension, clues, or clever twists, forcing players to think fast and stay alert. Trust no one completely – anyone could be hiding the truth.
