The Night Hunter Review
boardgamequest.comWe review The Night Hunter, a murdy mystery board game published by University Games. In The Night Hunter, players must work together to figure out who the killer is.
A killer terrorized the country 20 years ago. He turned himself in and was locked away for life. Yet, the killings have started again. Matching the modus operandi of the serial killer locked away you are agents tasked with finding out if this is a copycat killer or worse, the wrong man has been locked up.
Welcome to The Night Hunter Game!
The Night Hunter game consists of 5 chapters that must be played in order. Each chapter is split into three sections. At the beginning of each chapter, you will be advised of your objective and will be given a handful of evidence to look over.
The tools at your disposal that you will carry from mission to mission are a black light and a field guide consisting of bite mark patterns, elemental tables, and poison identifiers.
The game itself is mostly not timed as you and your team search through evidence to meet your current objective. Once you meet the first objective you get to open the folder containing the next section of evidence for the mission. Once you complete all three sections the mission is fully accomplished.
The story follows a serial killer who had a very particular way of killing his victims. Once a man confessed to the killings, he was locked behind bars. After 20 years the killings start up again, the problem is it matches certain details that weren’t released with the initial case investigation. You and your team are charged with completing each case/ mission in order, until the killer is caught, hopefully stopping him from claiming any more victims.
For my experience, I’ll do my best not to spoil any
