About the game
A knowledge or guessing game about various (historical) events. All somehow related to murder and manslaughter; more theme sets will follow. The game lasts 10 rounds, each featuring an event (famous or quite unknown). Players have to guess (or know) when it happened. The unique feature is that the players don't choose an exact year, but may each select a time span consisting of any number of years. From the time spans that include the event in question, the shortest ones gain points (3,2,1). The player with the highest total after 10 rounds wins.
