 Incomplete German rules

I was wondering how you could be caught in the act searching someone's cell when only one (!) person is allowed in the cells.
The English rule is clear - but this is missing in the German rule altogether: Only the owner of the cell is allowed in in order to catch someone else in the act!
Quite bad rule omission, didn't check for other mistakes yet. Actually this posting should be on the German discussion forum, but nobody seems to go there - so maybe some Germans read it here, unless they know already.
... and got only one blank card, sniff, so this is the second Mystery of the Abbey: Who stole my second blank card?

Some extra scriptorium cards

The spirit of Brother Adelmo (star)
Use this card when you are in your cellula.
"The spirit of Brother Adelmo visits you in prayer. He tells you the name of his closest friend in the abbey. This person is certainly innocent."
Roll one of the monk dice and pick a random card of that player. If the dice points you out or a player with no cards, roll again.
In hiding
"Terrified for another murder, a monk goes in hiding."
Hide a monk from your hand in a room by noting the room on a paper and putting his card and the paper aside. If a player enters that room, you have to show the card to that player. From that point on, all players know where the monk is hiding, but the monk remains there for the rest of the game.
A small lie (star)
This card allows you one lie when asked a question. You may use this card only once, and reveal it only at the end of the game, or when another card forces you to reveal it.
The eye of God
Pick an empty room. Each player that ends his turn in that room must show all his suspect cards to you. This effect remains active untill the next mass. (Mark that room with a coin).

Mystery of the Abbey
We need someone to run Mystery of the Abbey for teens (12-16) at the WBC in August.
The scheduled slot is from 9pm-12am on Friday.
You'd need to know the game and enjoy being around teens. Please e-mail Kaarin at acd@boardgamers.org if you would be willing to help.
There is NO entry fee or expense kick back ... You are on your own. Looking for someone already attending or expecting to attend.

My daughter got MoA for a Christmas present. We have one case in the books and we had a good time. We will, like everyone else, need to work on our questioning. We tended to ask very revealing questions, but as a start it wasn't bad. We seemed to all figure out who it was at about the same time so we had a mad rush to make an accusation. My daughter got there first with the use of a Crypta card. She had made one wrong revelation and I had made two correct revelations so I won by one point.
The cards make it fun. We will probably go with the variant of moving up to three spaces per turn next time. We really enjoyed the game.
Thank you,
Scott

 Morning Bells event card - fun singing Brother John

If you want to have more fun when an event card MORNING BELLS is played, try to play it like this:
everyone must roll a dice in a row,
depending on the colour on the dice
player may choose a languge in which he will sing Brother John song
try it in African
here you can find two sheets containing the song in 34 languages
every language has its own colour:

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/526123
For example, if the colour on the dice is black, player can choose - Argentinean, Dutch, Indonesian, Swedish or Spanish version.
If another player rolls black as well, he must choose a different language than the first player.
Have fun!!!

Playing Mystery of the Abbey with only two players

Hi everyone! I've been playing MotA with my wife, only two players and I must say that indeed there is mystery in the game. We know that the more players in the game the funnier it gets, but when we are alone, we play it this way. We close the library and we discard some scriptorium cards that are useless for only two players. We must say we have had such fun!! 
I'm sending this for those board game addicts who don't buy this game for the fact of just being two players.

Mystery of the Abbey returns

The Abbey of Saint-Pierre has been extremely quiet these past few years as the Abbot sent all the monks away for a very long pilgrimage. But they're on their way back, and once again they'll be tasked with solving the mystery... Who Killed Brother Adelmo?
Mystery of the Abbey is a whodunit game of deduction and intuition, set in a medieval abbey. Originally released in 2003 as Days of Wonder's first big box board game, it has won numerous awards and tens of thousands of fans. Out of print for several years, Mystery of the Abbey will soon be available again. Expect to see it in stores in the US and Europe by late August. Learn more on the Mystery of the Abbey web page.

Replacement Mystery of the Abbey Mass Cards
|
Thu, 20 December 2012 17:57
|

In the 2012 reprint of Mystery of the Abbey, there are errors in the English language edition where the incorrect number of cards to pass at Mass is given.
Each card incorrectly states you should pass 2 cards, whereas the number of cards to pass changes depending on the Mass. For the first Mass card (MATINS), you pass 1 card; for the second Mass card (LAUDS) you pass 2; then (PRIME) 3 cards; (TERCE) 4; (SEXT) 5; and 6 cards for the last 3 (NONE, VESPERS and COMPLINE).
We have reprinted new Mass cards, so if you have incorrect cards (i.e., each card says "pass 2 cards"), we'd like to send you the corrected versions for free.
To qualify for the free replacement deck program you must have a registered copy of Mystery of the Abbey and be logged into your Days of Wonder account.
To get your free replacement Mystery of the Abbey Mass cards, click Mystery Mass Card Replacement Deck to order yours.
