The next game from Days of Wonder looks to be a really interesting deduction game set on the Orient Express. Here is some blurb describing the game:

“The murder that takes place on the Orient Express incorporates 5 different elements represented by a set of Crime cards. Players take on the role of one of 5 traveling characters, each who has their own special powers of deduction. The player who figures out the who, what, when, where and why of the murder before the end of the journey wins.”

The Mystery Express webpage contains lots of info about the game, including a link to the rules. You can also pre-order a copy for €45.00, so I guess it’ll be around £40 when it hits the shops. It is due to ship around 24th March 2010.
