Finding Anastasia
Finding Anastasia is a clever social deduction game that actually requires deduction.
THE STORY
In the year 1918 the Russian people revolted against the Monarchy. It was believed that the royal family was eliminated. However, a rumor claims that the Czar’s favorite daughter, Anastasia, survived and has been in hiding from those that are pursuing her. Her Grandmother, the Empress Dowager, heard the rumors and decided to make it her mission to find Anastasia. After years of searching, the Empress invited those who claim to be or know Anastasia to a party, where the Empress hopes to learn enough to find Anastasia.
GAME OVERVIEW
One player is the Empress, while the rest of the players are guests. To find Anastasia, the Empress and her guests must ask questions of each other. The responses are marked on a central board for all players to see. By listening to the answers and exchanging hidden clue cards with each other players must deduce who is and isn’t Anastasia. As questions are answered, gems are given to players. The gems can be used on a player’s turn to perform actions such as gaining clues, revealing roles, or asking additional questions.
The game continues until Anastasia is found or a role ability causes the game to end. Will the Empress find Anastasia? Will Rasputin’s Agent find Anastasia first? What other guests will show up to this party? Play Finding Anastasia to find out.

Finding Anastasia was a labor of love. I wanted to make a social deduction game that had a real engine under it, not just some vague attempt at trickery. This game is pretty, but it has a real game at its core–one that involves real deduction and clever use of resources. You have to time your moves just right! It’s elegant and clever! I love it!

I used to review games for Gamers Remorse, but even before that my love of gaming began years ago when I was a kid–Fireball island, Forbidden Bridge, Sorry! and so many more made up my childhood. Finding Anastasia was a way of bringing back that nostalgia, while paying homage one of my favorite not Disney animated movies!
