Description

Clarendon's Mystery Tonic – Mystery Card Game

Clarendon's Mystery Tonic is a mystery card game published by University Games. One-Minute Mysteries pairs short spoken cases with a race to work out the answer.

Listen to the mystery and use the clues to solve it before the other players. The title refers to a mystery that can be read in less than a minute, not a guaranteed one-minute solution.

The vintage medicine-bottle shapes are printed cards, not glass bottles. This archive entry records the yellow-box Front Porch Classics edition.
