Dust, Blood and Calavera

6–7 players · 240 min · 10+

Dust, Blood and Calavera is a 6-7 player (plus 1 host) Jubensha game. In this murder mystery strategy game each player embodies a character with their own secrets, motives, and agenda.

The setting is Calavera, a lawless border town that thrived as a black market hub during Prohibition. A month ago, the mayor turned up dead. Nobody knows if it was murder, accident, or suicide. But everyone knows the map is missing. The map that charted the town's entire liquor smuggling network. Whoever has it holds the power to burn Calavera to the ground or walk away rich.

Players spend the session in character, interrogating one another, winning clues in mini-games, uncovering hidden alliances, and piecing together what really happened to the mayor. All while protecting their own secrets. The winner is the person who finishes the game with the map and the others are grateful if they leave Calavera alive.
