The Case of the Golden Idol is one of those incredibly enthralling games - the concept is simple. You're presented with a tableau, often depicting some sort of murder or the aftermath of a murder. Using the thoughts and possessions of the people present, environmental clues, and logical deduction, it's up to you to figure out what exactly happened.
