Board Game G3 Black Stories (English edition) — party mystery riddle card game

Black Stories (English edition) by G3 is a party riddle card game that invites groups to solve short, often macabre mystery scenarios using yes/no questions and logical deduction. Each illustrated card presents a brief, enigmatic situation and a concise answer; players take turns asking questions while one player — the narrator — knows the full solution and replies only with yes, no, or irrelevant. The set is designed for face-to-face group play, encourages imaginative reasoning and collective storytelling, and fits typical game-night, party or social gathering formats.
