First time through wasn't perfect, but MAN did we have fun!!! We had four characters that at first didn't seem like they would have any reason to talk. First up was "Dad", the gold-digger of the family trying to gain acceptance through his constant offer of cheese. Second was "the foreigner" from Canada, sent to spy on the dinner party by his government, a stupid mission in his opinion. Third was "The General" who didn't seem to lilke the foreigner much. Fourth was the host's sister and her little dog who mostly stayed quiet. After a short time socializing, the lights went out and the host was found dead. Accusations flew, the murder weapon was found, a neighbor was killed and found with cheese crumbs in his beard. Every dank, dark hallway, attic, guest room was searched for evidence when the guests weren't arguing about cheese.
Everyone seemed to have fun. I know I wasn't handing out drama points for every scene so the ending was a bit muddled. I'll surely run this again after rereading the rules. I don't blame the system, content or players at all. We had a blast!
