Who Shot the Sheriff

Who Shot the Sheriff is an interactive murder mystery game - much like Freeform Games' other games such as A Dead Man's Chest and Curse of the Pharaoh. Who Shot the Sheriff also shares many of the same features - it has the item cards and the ability cards that those games have. (Item cards are used to represent all sorts of things - from guns and knives to fabulous jewels and banker's drafts. Ability cards, on the other hand, allow the characters to detect secrets find out information about other people.)
The cast of Who Shot the Sheriff includes:- Blaise Sadler – the Gold Nugget Saloon's waitress
- Christy Martin – an enterprising business owner
- Deputy Beau Baxter – the new Sheriff Deputy
- Doctor Riley Bones – a traveling doctor
- Doctor Shiloh Merriwhether – doctor and friend of the Indians
- Elijah Entwhistle – a fiery traveling preacher
- Fitzhugh Smith – a city slicker
- Good-for-Nothin' Ned – a scruffy ne'er-do-well

Who Shot the Sheriff needs a dedicated host, someone to organise the game. I really enjoy being the host - you know what's going on and can watch your friends scheme and plot and be devious to one another.
