Petits Meurtres & Faits Divers is a board game released in 2007 for 4–7 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Hervé Marly and its main mechanics are Storytelling and Acting.
The inspector is trying to find out the murderer by doing several interrogations. Each player has one minute to explain why he isn't the murderer. He must say three words that are written in his book - all the innocents have the same three words they MUST use, but the murderer has three different words. The murderer is trying to pose as innocent by finding and using their three words, while the innocent players are trying to use the murderer's words to appear guilty.
Petits Meurtres & Faits Divers supports 4–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
