Description Edit | History

Mystery of the Abbey is a whodunit game with a twist. A monk has been murdered in a medieval French Abbey. Players maneuver their way through the Abbey examining clues and questioning each other to find out who is the culprit. A masterful game of deduction!

The Days of Wonder edition came out in 2003. The 2007 reprint included the Pilgrims' Chronicles expansion.
