If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Bring on the Trumps! :lol:

I actually still have some sets I bought a few years ago when my sis got into it (didn't last long), Simpsons, movie star and X-Men ones :)

Well obviously.

Murder in the dark was my favourite game as a kid. Loved playing it in our friends 5 bed house as there was lots of room to get lost in :)

So if I'm in the dark, could you just go and get lost? (8+0

Yep definitely murdered. Depends if the person with the killer card found you or not.

Premise of murder in the dark:

You need a group of people (4 or more preferably)
Hand out playing cards to all after deciding which card would be the 'murder card'
You all go off and hide and the killer selects someone to 'murder'
Once the killing has taken place you all gather up to guess who the killer was.

Am sure I've missed bits out but you're talking about a game I haven't played for 30 years!

Why bother with all the hiding schtick? Just sit around a table and do it. In fact, I think I just invented Cluedo. Oh, hang on...

Unless it was intended as an excuse to go hide and perhaps have interesting "encounters" in the dark.

Well as a child it was fun hiding in the dark waiting for someone to come and kill you but who knows what the adults got up to. I was all innocent then.

There is a similar game where someone winks at people sat round a table and you have to guess who the winker / killer is.

That was a good game but i was somewhat screwed, not being able to wink.
