English review by All the Meeples of the Rainbow
Super smooth quick-playing deduction game. The killer is trying to keep you guessing and the cop needs to see through the lies and find the motive and actual killer. It is wonderful.
8.5/10 After 3 plays

We really enjoy this game and are excited to see how it plays with more than two players. However, we can’t shake the feeling that it’s ideally suited for two players. And we absolutely love that‼️

If you’re looking for a logic/deduction game that’s more grown up than Clue, then make sure to check this one out! I’m also loving the art style for this one.

Flawless styling, thematic mechanisms and immense gameplay variety (including 8 scenarios) offer players a true feast. The game is neither difficult nor long (sessions wrap up in an hour) and every minute spent with it is an intense challenge for both the killer and the detectives seeking them. <…> Intent To Kill is a unique game. And it stays with me at least until I renew my detective license.

While you play with 20 civilians, there are 54 in the box, and you only choose 6 motives out of 12 in a game. Additionally there are alternative setups with special rules and 2 modes of play so replayability is excellent. We are really enjoying this game and will be back with more!

It’s a game that anyone can sit down, be a part of and enjoy their time with! Intent to Kill allows for all players to be creative and sneaky in their play, which I really loved! I think the game’s strategy and sneakiness will also develop the more experienced the players are.

I love these who-done-it’s especially when they’re dipped so heavily in theme. The artwork is fantastic and rumor has it that this one is loads of fun. Time to get started solving the case!

We love deduction games. We were very surprised by this game given its asymmetry in roles. The Detective and the Murderer have entirely different actions and this made us curious. We weren’t disappointed.
Intent to Kill is basically a cat and mouse game that lasts 5 or 6 rounds, until the fifth murder has been done. Very interactive and with endless replayability because of the multitude of components and their variation possibilities.

We found this game to be an awesome concept for a deduction game, one that keeps being interesting after repeated plays and that can be made more difficult once you get more familiar with the reasoning behind it. The fact that you can alternate between the two different factions and that these require different ways of thinking increases the replayability, and makes us excited every time.

As a fan of deduction games, especially as a player that often takes on the role of the “one” player in a one-vs-all game, Intent to Kill is one of the simplest deduction games I can introduce to people. The majority of actions are easily explained in a sentence or two, with the only complications being the conditions the Murderer can lie to the Detective. Otherwise, once the rules are figured out, the rest falls into place with ease.

Interesting deduction system; I especially like the motives, which limit the murderer and make both sides more interesting. Clear and simple actions & structure. Gorgeous aesthetics.

Fazit: Absolute Empfehlung für Deduktions-Fans!
Rein auf das Spiel bezogen aber hier nun das Fazit: Intent to Kill ist ein Muss für alle, die sich in einem tiefgehenden, strategischen Krimispiel verlieren wollen und logische Deduktion mögen.
