A Journaling Game of Method, Motive, and Opportunity In a Forested Minnesota Town.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the back cover:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a small town in the forested Minnesota hills someone is back from the dead. So now you're there, a lone FBI detective, to catch the criminal necromancer who did it. It's a nice town. Fishing for lake trout is pretty great. The diner serves a good cup of coffee. Hopefully you just do what you need to do and don't get too drawn in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Balsam Lake Unmurders is a journaling game. Playing cards represent suspect and interactions you have with them trying to discerern if they're the necromancer — and you write in your journal how they play out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuotes from people who've played:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It's like Twin Peaks meets the X-Files.\" - Jason D'Angelo, playtester and author of The Daily Apocalypse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It felt like moving into a living space.\" - Camilla Zamboni, after six hours caught up in Balsam Lake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Even when I put the game down I keep turning it over and over in my mind.\" - Vincent Baker, creator of Apocalypse World\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Paul, I seriously loved this game.\" - Gabrielle Rabinowitz, playtester and co-creator of Ma Nishtana\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Indie Press Revolution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42395945664578,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0117\/3900\/4994\/files\/images_dbcbb150-13ae-420f-9126-b65d39e0d11f.jpg?v=1755464903","url":"https:\/\/grognardgames.com\/products\/the-balsam-lake-umurders","provider":"Grognard Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
