It was a busy day in Flabort's Cards and Games Shop. Various ages of child, teenager, and young adult (as well as a couple older gents) were rushing around, getting organized for the big event. Flabort himself stood in the center at the Head Table, standing watch over the covered pile of completely unopened release merchandise.
The clock struck midnight. Anyone who wasn't yet sitting down grabbed a chair and sat. Flabort stuck out his hand, and wisked the cover off the pile. Sparkly foil packaging and plastic wrapped boxes glinted in the dimmed lights of the store, and he stepped forward in a booming voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the brand new game you've all been waiting for, finally arived; 'Reaper Rocks'," he declares. His two employees move forward and start passing out packs from the pile, and once everyone has two packs, he anounces, "Begin! Start opening!"
From each foil pack falls several small gemstones, each glowing faintly. The cards still within the packs are forgotten as each player grabs the stones on the table, and each feels a similar but distinct experience of endorphins rushing and power flowing. Eyes flash and meet as the patrons of the store are flooded with unlocked knowledge within their minds; they are stopped when Flabort makes another anouncement.
"Additional packs may be won through play. The grand champion, or champions as the case may be, will get five boxes of packs, each in the case of a tie. And: You may not leave the store until the game is over. The doors are sealed with the same powers as those stones you know hold possess. You cannot leave."
As realization sinks in, play begins. Players start to organize themselves, only for someone to scream. Flabort's body is discovered under the table, and the imposter who was speaking grins and dissapears into a thin vapor. Mere moments later the bodies of his two employees are found, too. The players start talking, and agree that for this many deaths to occur, someone present must be responsible. Someone's eyes glow, and the speak of five people hidden in the midst of the players who seek to take all the stones for themselves, and every pack in the pile.
It is agreed that they will use the power of the gemstones to eliminate suspects between games of cards, in order to find the killers. The nature of the game becomes clear, that the cards are not important, and the first hour begins.
