The Testimony of Jacob Hollow (2003)

About this game

Each player plays a character who has become embroiled in the mysteries of the once-tranquil town of Castle Bay. Your objective is to survive horrible encounters and frightening locations as you search for clues to uncovering the mystery. Be the first player to gain 10 Investigation Points or be the last one alive in the town, and you win.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
