Kay Fretwell’s Casino Fatale party
“I just thought I’d drop you a line with some feedback and photos from our recent session of Casino Fatale!
“Firstly, I’ll just point out that the night was a big success, thoroughly enjoyed by all and I would recommend it to others. But that goes without saying really, as you can’t expect any less from Freeform Games!
“We had 21 guests, plus me (the host), so we used up all of the characters and added Ginger Roberts too. I tweaked Ginger’s character sheets a bit to make him reporter for the ‘Fatale Flyer’ – the casino’s weekly newsletter, which put him under the employ of Sam Riley and made him a little more involved in the game. (I also changed the ‘Paris News’ sheet to be the ‘Fatale Flyer’ and tagged ‘edited by Ginger Roberts’ at the bottom.)
“We managed to cram all 22 people into my teeny tiny one reception room-one bedroom-one bathroom flat, which was quite a challenge but worked out fine in the end. We spread the furniture out to create as much floorspace as possible. I played the role of barmaid and set up a bar in our kitchenette – serving only the finest French cocktails of course! I also put out a bit of ‘finger food’ – French baguettes, cheese, mini pastries and the like! We had a poker table and a roulette table, and the two guys playing croupiers Joe Knowall and Chris Rowan got right into character tending the tables, without any prompting from me at all!
“We are a large group of friends who regularly hold murder mystery parties. We often buy from Freeform, and also write our own too, so everyone present was really involved, putting on dodgy French accents and taking the storylines to new places!
“This was a really great game and a fun evening. Thanks again for all the brilliant work you do.”
