Poisoning Monks

    Last night I played this game with Daniel, Bernie, and Arynne.  Tres Fun.  It's an interesting mix of clue and guess who.  With the added interest of ringing a little bell, getting sent back to mass every couple of turns, and having to chant like monks for a couple of rounds.  Chanting like monks is, of course, even more interesting to the people milling about who are not actually playing the game.  I won, go me! (Boo! Brother Cuthbert.) Everyone else was right behind me.  If you have a chance, I would suggest taking a look.

Hooray for Umberto Eco and The Name of the Rose! I have two friends I am trying to get to read it at the moment. Poisoning monks is a wonderful pastime.

I must admit that I've never read The Name of the Rose. I must put it on the list, as I enjoy poisoning monks.

Wow. I don't know anyone who has visited the website you linked and hasn't read Eco.

I just googled the title of the game to try to find a picture, though I think I have read a different book by Eco.
