A young woman has appeared at the police facilities in Granollers pleading guilty to several crimes. To prove the truth of her words, she has detailed to the police one of the murders and the place where the body is located.

The GM for this game was outstanding. What otherwise would have been an ok game with old furniture and a few surprises became amazing. Was it the perfect high budget modern room? I don’t know. I don’t care. It stamped a memory on us that I won’t easily be forgotten. One of the players jokingly complained about it being too scary, and the GM prepared a funny (really, not a scare) surprise for him. For all the scared ones out there, take one of these 🧻.

Seven will have you go through the seven cardinal sins:

• Lust
• Gluttony
• Greed
• Sloth
• Wrath
• Envy
• Pride

You will have to solve different riddles, or cases, for each one. There is an easy way to visualize your progress but do not panic if half-way through the game you have solved only a couple of sins. Progressions quickly ramps up at the end. The plot does a good job at tying the 7 sins to a single case where you will keep discovering new hidden sub-plots that try to make you feel the negative side of each corresponding sin. I particularly liked the execution of Gluttony (gula) and Pride (soberbia), and thought they could have done a better job with Lust (lujuria).

Is it playable in English? It is not bookable in English. You need to understand the 7 capital sins, but it may be playable with some GM help, worth asking them. Worst case, you could play it if at least one player understands Spanish at moderate level.
