Review How to Host a Murder: Chicago Caper / Decipher:It is September 1928 in Chicago. Notorious gangster Harold "Hal" Coppone's return is expected to trigger a wave of violence. Instead, Coppone has disappeared, mystifying police and the criminal underworld. To the small group gathered in a speakeasy near Coppone's headquarters, the crimelord's whereabouts become only part of the mystery when murder is discovered. There's no shortage of suspects, motives, speakeasy glamor or gorgeous flappers in this crime tale. Know people with a taste for murder mysteries? Even if they're not fans of Agatha Christie, they'll have a wonderful evening with The Chicago Caper. Like all of the theme parties in the How to Host a Murder series, this boxed set provides everything you need to plan and host a four- to five-hour dinner party. The game, designed for eight players, each of whom takes on a role in the drama, begins with a cassette complete with 1920s jazz and a sultry-voiced barkeep who provides the first set of clues. Hal Coppone is dead, she announces. One of the guests is the murderer. [+]From there, each player must reveal what he or she knows-and conceal the character's dark secrets-all with the guidance of a personalized game book. While the fun is certain to revolve around the rich cast of characters (including Molly M. Awbsterr, Ernie G. Ambler, and Eddie "Socks" R. Gyle), the Host Guide provides a number of suggestions to enrich the evening, including delicious recipes designed to fit with the theme. In addition to the Host Guide, eight player's books, and the tape, the package contains a map of the crime scene, secret clues, guest invitations, and nametags. -Patrick O'Kelley.

Review Rivers, Roads, and Rails / Ravensburger MN058-000:Building roads, railroads, and waterways is the object of this cooperative picture-matching game. The 2-inch square tiles have illustrations of the above printed on one side with some railroad stations and harbors, too. Each player draws 10 tiles and sets about matching river to river, road to road and rail to rail. The first to use up all their tiles wins. But this nonreading game is really about cooperation. The different paths and combinations create so many different possibilities that no two paths are alike. -Lynne Sampson There are 140 picture tiles that show segments of rivers, roads, and rails. Place all of the picture tiles face down in the box or on the playing surface. Each player draws two picture tiles from the box and puts them face up in front of them. The players then take turns adding their pictures tiles on to an expanding network of rivers, roads, and rails. [+]But theres a catch! Some tiles may have rivers and some may just have roads and rails, so you may not always be able to make a match. If this is the case, then draw another picture tile from the box and wait for your next turn. Once the picture tiles from the box are gone, the first player to get rid of all of their tiles wins. What Do You Learn? Observation skills, Matching, Recognition, Association.

Review Scotland Yard / Ravensburger MN017-109:Lets Play! Which player will have the roll of the elusive Mister X? One player will function as Mister X, with the other players being Scotland Yard detectives searching for him throughout Central London. The starting station cards are shuffled and everyone draws one to determine where they will start the game. Every move is either by taxi, underground, or bus. Mister X moves first and writes his move in his travel log, indicating what method of transportation he used but not where he moved. Then, each detective makes their move, cooperating with the other detectives in an effort to close in on Mister X. Mister X only reveals where he is at certain points in the game, and the chase continues until one of the detectives moves to the place where Mister X is. In this case, the team of detectives has won the game. But, if Mister X makes 24 moves without being caught, he himself wins.

Review Snails Pace race / Ravensburger MN041-167:So many children's games require an adult to help out or set things up. Not this one. The Snail's Pace Race is a simple game that proceeds at a child's pace. Everything is based on colors, including the dice, without a printed word in sight. Players roll the dice to see which two of the colorful wooden snails they'll move forward one space on the board. No matter how many children play, all six snails enter the race. The goal is to guess which snail will be the first-or the last-to cross the finish line. -Lynne Sampson Place the colored wooden snails on their matching starting arrow. At the beginning of the game, each player chooses the color snail that they think will come in first and the one that they think will come in last. The youngest player starts by rolling the two wooden die. [+]They then advance the snails that match the colors rolled. If they roll two of the same color, they would then move that color snail two spaces. Play continues until all of the snails have reached their color circle at the other end of the game board. Just remember to keep track of which snails were first and last. The players who chose the right snails all win! What Do You Learn? Color recognition, task completion.
