Rear Window review

Rear Window is a fun and engaging game that captures the essence of Alfred Hitchcock's iconic film. The game is cooperative, with one player taking on the role of the director and the other players working together to solve the mystery of the neighbors across the way. The director communicates clues to the other players via building windows, using cards with people, items, or shadows that represent the rooms of the apartment residents.

I really enjoyed the suspenseful atmosphere of the game, and it's a great way to get your brain working and thinking critically. The game is also quite challenging, even for experienced board game players, and the clues are often ambiguous enough to keep you guessing. The artwork is beautiful and evocative, and the game pieces are well-made and sturdy.

I would recommend Rear Window to anyone who enjoys cooperative games, deduction games, or mystery games. It's a great game for a group of friends or family, and it's sure to provide hours of entertainment. I also think it's a great game for fans of the film, although you don't need to have seen the film to enjoy the game.
