Read the full game description

Cereal Killer is a brisk hidden-movement deduction game built from Julián Tunni’s one-card design. The killer secretly moves through city streets and must claim six victims before the week ends, leaving just enough cereal evidence to form a trail. The detective spends scarce actions moving, questioning witnesses, and making a limited number of arrest attempts. This expanded edition sharpens the original rules and components and adds Lola the dog as a third role, introducing another source of information and misdirection without losing the compact ten-to-fifteen-minute duel.
