Yes / No - puzzle, known as Lateral, have a very long game tradition. In you are given by a "puzzle master" usually slightly paradoxical-sounding crime stories, and have to inform the participants of the round rate by skillful questions.

In the appearing since 2004 the number of successful Black Stories issuing Moses-Verlag, 2008 "Black Stories, the game has released. The "black stories" play the main role in this game, but there are other game elements. On a game plan similar to a wheel of fortune a knife is turned. The knife tip indicates the action to be performed next.

Choose from the following fields:

• Luggage - new blood for the player (a free drop of blood)
• Prison - the blood drops in the amount of dice-throw release
• Black Question - A puzzle must be read and guess.
• Mummy - The riddle master mime answers may be only
• Felt - The riddle master must present his answers drawing
• Black 13 - Black-Jack bloodthirsty version

"Stick to your last" - our recommendation to the publisher. No doubt the Black Stories do in almost every version and with the right darkly humorous play partners absolute fun, we ask ourselves, give up if the answers "yes" and "no" so much room in order to mime or even graphically depict. In our rounds that was not really feasible, and so we played these actions as the normal version, namely verbal, which did not detract from the fun, however.

The addition of a card game a la "Black Jack" we felt as nice loosening. Correct helpful we found the bag containing the blood drops to make the scoring transparent. Moreover, if on the wheel now and again for free - drop of blood - points jumped out, was accepted as a nice extra income.

As a pure puzzle game has a real triumph Black Stories behind. In the series now several editions have been published with new, exciting, bloody and bizarre stories. "Black Stories, the game is also based on the charming guessing game somewhere between" What am I "and" Clueless Genius ".

All individually published issues are always combined with the board game. "Black Stories - the game is designed to turn a pure puzzle games evening a varied evening. This is well meant, but the real puzzle is this not really necessary, as it has in itself may be refreshing.

Recommendation to enter: on the Facebook page of Moses - publisher will always live - performed puzzles. Who has a Facebook account, this should definitely try again. This is also a very good opportunity of Black - Stories to be infected virus.
