Black Stories: Shit Happens – They Really Happened 🖤💥

The cult riddle series from Moses with a twist: these stories are real. Black Stories: Shit Happens by Corinna Harder and Jens Schumacher, illustrated by Bernhard Skopnik, contains 50 pitch-black riddles about the most absurd real-life accidents and mishaps – bizarre, abysmal and completely absurd.

One player takes on the role of the riddle master, draws a card and reads aloud the short story on the front. The solution is on the back – and the riddle master keeps it secret. Everyone else now has to work their way towards what really happened by asking questions that can only be answered with "yes" or "no". You can play as one guessing team that cracks the riddle together, or in the riddle-pro variant: each game uses three riddle cards, and especially clever questions that lead onto a hot trail are rewarded with point chips. Whoever has collected the most point chips at the end wins. The handy card format makes Black Stories easy to take along on long car journeys, flights or holidays, and it works for small and large groups alike. Intended for players aged 14 and up.
