It's 1934, and the next voyage of the train will roll out from New York City with a fully-booked First-Class carriage. The train staff has ensured the food is fresh, the ice cubes are perfect squares, and every nook and cranny is free of dust. With this many VIPs onboard, everything must be in perfect order.

    My group of friends really enjoyed this game. We have done many murder mystery games from My Mystery Party and this is a good one! Definitely not for newbies, but not impossible. A few people in our group even got the answer correct!
