Description

In J'Accuse, you're one of 3 to 6 players gathered to mourn the passing of the wealthy M. Harpagon Richard, but it's not long before a pesky police inspector shows up, suspecting foul play. As the heirs to his fortune, you're all eager to get your hands on the inheritance, but the inspector's accusations threaten to ruin everything. To avoid being accused of the crime, you'll need to use your memory and cunning to shift the blame onto your fellow players. The game is a hilarious and fast-paced experience, with simple rules that can be explained quickly, making it accessible to everyone. With a playtime of just 30 to 60 minutes, you'll be laughing and scheming with your friends in no time. As you simultaneously try to clear your own name and implicate others, the game becomes a thrilling battle of wits, with the loser being "arrested" and accused of the crime. Will you be the one to outsmart your friends and get away with the inheritance, or will you be the one taking the fall?
