All interesting points about questions. When I mark suspects, I usually have four marks: I've seen the suspect card or else been told it was in their hand (ie, direct information); someone else has told me they've seen the suspect card, but they didn't have it in their hand at the time (ie, second-hand information); I feel that someone else's question fairly definitively suggests that they've eliminated the suspect; or I feel that someone else's quesiton somewhat suggests that they've eliminated the suspect. I'm not sure if the last category actually is useful.

Good to hear that the Cubula experience wasn't just mine alone. I felt a bit leery about including that in the review because I wasn't certain if it was a general problem in <6 player games or not.

I'd actually meant to note the Secret Library as a great balancing mechanism. Players are really at a disadvantage if they have less cards, and the library really helps them out.

And I agree the theme is very solid and a definite virtue of the game.
