I instantly thought of Scotland Yard as well. Loved that game. I suppose there's a little hint of Master Labyrinth in there too - another fun Ravensburger game. This seems like a cool channel and it makes me sad too, because it reminds me of a time before the crushing dominance of video games of that unique communal experience each Christmas time after first opening a new board game.

nice intro guys!

Played this. Good game. It was fun when I was hiding and although the Abbess player knew where I was, I made no noise and the Abbess had to go along their route. LOL

This is Win-Win, buy it!!! wow!! I never heard that from Tom vassel before!!!

Such a great game. It's become a thanksgiving tradition for us!

possibly my favourite game

Looks like a great gateway game... I can see many of my non-gamers liking this game... Who would have thought Nuns would make a good theme for a game??

What is the stick for?

i picked up this game recently and got given a promotional expansion pack. "the monk" hes deaf so he doesnt roll for noise. and doesnt capture novices. but still reveals novices when he see them.

It's called "Sardines". It's a fun game.

Great review!

Is this good for 2 players?

great game

I didn't really want one but I bought a copy anyway to get shipping for all my games. I didn't care for Scotland Yard. Perhaps I will resell it since it may be out of print for now.

Loved the movie, didn't realize it inspired this board game!

LOL, Laudanam for curing Spiritual imbalance :P

That tie is boss!

@BIGburgerJR Its a board game....

Get Letters of Whitechapel instead. It's so good.

That was always fun until you made a misstep and fell through the roof of the church into the lobby while all the adults were discussing how well behaved you were. Ahh, memories. :P

Looks interesting. But how do players control who is really going where? As i understand "runners" right down their moves secretly and "hunters" can only see this in the end? So there is a chance of cheating? I know that some games refer to players' conscience, but that's just don't seems like good mechanics for me :)

when they catch you, you must hold out your hands and receive a lashing for your sins

Woo hide an seek in church

So do you like the game Tom (-: "We play hide and seek at Church" lol ... awesome

Looks very nice but sadly it utilizes one of my no-go mechanics in board games: writing stuff down. I can´t help it, I just can´t stand that. Other than that, it looks like a decent game.

When playing this game I couldn't help but think that it's strongly flawed in many ways in terms of logic and mechanics. As a whole winning as the nuns seems nearly impossible or has never happened in our plays.

1 - I thought this was the movie review. 2 - I thought the board game was based off the movie. I'm just disappointed in every way possible. The tie is cool thou.

Sorry, but its not a fun game at all. This was the first game I bought after getting into board games (via Catan of course) years ago and by the name alone it sounded like a blast. Several attempts later its on my "how do I get rid of this?" list...which only has one game on it. Afterward I've purchased: Gangsters, Dominion, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Copper Country (yet to arrive), a few decks worth of Magic the Gathering and Betrayal at House on the Hill. All of these games are enjoyed by myself and others, but when it comes to NOTR, everyone just kind of gets bored and frustrated. If we want to feel suspense we play Betrayal.
