**Museum Suspects** is a deduction-based strategy board game designed by Phil Walker-Harding. The game features a mystery/crime theme with vibrant illustrations and includes high-quality cards and cardboard tokens. It accommodates 2 to 4 players, making it suitable for both family play and adult gaming groups, with a recommended age of 8 and up.
The gameplay revolves around deduction, betting, and bluffing mechanics. Players have six turns to identify the suspect—or suspects—by gathering clues, assigning values to them, and eliminating possibilities on their detective sheets. Each turn involves selecting a clue, placing a numbered token (1-6) to assign its value, and betting on a suspect. At the end of the sixth round, all clues are revealed to determine the correct suspect(s). The player who placed the highest-value bet on the correct suspect wins.
Museum Suspects shares similarities with other well-regarded strategy games such as **Photosynthesis**, **Planet**, **Kingdomino**, and Phil Walker-Harding’s titles like **Cloud City** and **Neoville**. Its straightforward rules make it accessible while offering strategic depth for repeat play.
