What the Reviewers Say I think this might be my favourite board game... Moderating Blood On The Clocktower is the most thought provoking fun this hobby has given me in years... This is everything board games can be. It is ridiculous. And it is masterfully crafted. And it is spellbinding. Shut Up & Sit Down Blood on the Clocktower is my number 1 game of all time. It rose through the ranks of my favourite games in rather dramatic fashion, captivating me in a way few other games have and effectively killing the genre in almost every other iteration. Angelus Morningstar, Story Board Gamer It's our go-to social deduction game... I've played this game with multiple different groups. From experienced gamers, to people that are much more inexperienced gamers, it's worked with everyone. Men On Board, Dice Tower Network If you’re a social deduction fan this is a MUST!!!!! My game at Essen was SO intense and exciting, I just instantly fell in love with it. Boardgamergirl I really love this game... Even if you don't like social deduction, give this one a shot. Jillian Schmett, To Die For Games Clocktower gives you a veritable banquet of deceit and intrigue from which you can dine. Meeple Like Us We highly recommend giving this game a go.
