Tragedy Looper

User summary: A scenario-based deduction game for four players (one script writer and three detectives). The game consists of four location boards and a number of characters cards. Each scenario features a number of characters, hidden roles for these characters (serial killer, misinformant, murderer) and some pre-set tragedies (murder, suicide). Each "day" (turn), players and script writer play cards onto the characters, moving them around and/or affecting their stats. At the end of each day (turn), if the scenario has a tragedy set for that day, it happens if the conditions are met (certain characters have certain stats or are in a certain location toghether/not together with others). As tragedies happen, players loop back in time, restart the scenario from the start, trying to deduce who the culprit was and why, slowly finding out the hidden rules for the scenario. The players win if they manage to maintain status quo for a set number of days, within a set number of loops. If not, the script writer wins.
