All My Children Special Edition Game

We had an awesome time playing this game last weekend and the game seemed really engaging and fun. Having not played murder mysteries before, I can't say how it stacked up, and we had a really hammy group that was into it, but the story line did feel a bit overwritten - so much fell by the wayside in our attempt to lay out all of the clues we had to share - and there's something almost less fun about basing our characters on "real-life soap opera" characters, since without the TV show to refer to (we were NOT adults during the era of the show, so we knew nothing about them) it was more fun imagining than having their photos all over the box.
