Read the full game description
13 Dead End Drive is a bluffing and deduction game played across a three-dimensional mansion packed with mechanical traps. Each player secretly controls several potential heirs, but every pawn can be moved by anyone, making identity and intention difficult to read. On a turn, players roll and divide movement between pawns, maneuvering suspects beneath a chandelier, onto a staircase, or toward another deadly contraption. A character can win by escaping while their portrait is displayed, surviving as the final heir, or remaining when the detective reaches the door. The shared movement system turns every apparently helpful move into a possible feint.
