The honey from the Abbey at Larddingham makes the best mead in Christendom, so the beekeepers are protective of their hives. A midden pile and a hay pile for the game done as well
unlabelledView post →Can’t recommend Mystery of the Abbey more highly. It’s the game we’ve played most in the last two weeks since the KS arrived. A gorgeous mix of Cluedo and Guess Who with a raft of sinister looking monks. Beautifully made and lots of fun.
unlabelledView post →Although the in-game Hollywood Forever Cemetery doesn't resemble its real-world counterpart, the mausoleum is a strong match for the Abbey of the Psalms.

unlabelledView post →In my home Nightwick Abbey game, the PCs have made "friends" with one a cult dedicated to the Baroness of the Abbey. Then the PCs picked a fight with them, lost, and lost a mysterious golden skull because of it. Let's look at Gertrude and Her Man-Eaters: icastlight.blogspot.com/2025/02/gert...
unlabelledView post →There's tons of this stuff and, like with JP games, not all of it stays untranslated forever. Take for example La Abadía del Crimen/The Abbey of Crime, a classic Spanish adventure inspired by Umberto Eco that received a remake a few years back whose translation was backported to the Amstrad version
unlabelledView post →Last night's regulation win for Cambridge United at home to Accrington was my last game of 2025. I reckon I must have seen 20 matches at the Abbey this year, around 10 at Elland Road plus games at Lincoln, Orient, Berwick, Doncaster, Sutton and Benfica. Bristol City (h) was special. #my2025 #lufc

unlabelledView post →Something I somehow forgot to mention: the visuals are incredible, especially during the Abbey Rd chapters. Favorite part of the game hands down.

unlabelledView post →This is *the* most exciting time to be a Cambridge United fan. Automatic promotion in our grasp, massive game after massive game against promotion rivals coming up at the Abbey. Even it goes wrong, the worst-case scenario at this point is a play-off campaign. Drink it in, lads. #CamUTD 🧡🖤

unlabelledView post →There are so many things that speak to me in this - I was just a bit too young to properly remember my family trips to Barrow-in-Furness to appreciate them. But there's something about walking up to the ground game after game that stays with you. The walk to the Abbey sticks with me. #CamUTD
unlabelledView post →Day whatever of my #boardgamesky challenge. Today is “Mystery of the Abbey”. This is a classic and was grail game of mine for a long time. I got my own a couple years ago new. It’s clue on steroids and it’s a blast. A reprint is either available or upcoming. Grab your copy. You won’t regret it
unlabelledView post →When Will wants to give up on fighting the vampire (dnd game character) Dustin realizes they can summon the “mage from the Abbey of St Markovia.” In DnD a mage is just a general term for a sorcerer or spell caster. Also St Markovia was named after a priestess of the morninglord (sun god)
unlabelledView post →It feels crinimal that for the longest time, the only thing I knew about The Abbey of Crime was the ''Pirata!'' thing. Utterly enchanting game, no wonder to this day is so cited and beloved in some circles; I feel like I'm leaving a ton out, but I needed to write about it in some way bckl.gg/lEYo

unlabelledView post →Midnight Suns is... Uneven in the first arc. Played for about 2.5 hours and did 1 mission. Most of my time was spent exploring, going to havens, going to meetups. I really love the fucking around at the Abbey portions of this game, and it feels like that can make or break your enjoyment of the game
unlabelledView post →Have put make up on for the first time in months. A least I haven't become allergic to it. Headed out to #TheAbbey to see #HauntedThePlay with Tara Flynn.
unlabelledView post →Midnight Suns, but the Abbey is now the Xavier Institute, the gameplay model there fits an X-men game perfectly.
unlabelledView post →Today was one of my favourite games at the Abbey. Action packed, and a great comeback win. Liam Bennett was brilliant in the second half, and the tactical switch at half time really changed the game. Well done all. #CUFC #CamUTD
unlabelledView post →Everton to win in ninety fifth minute? I used to see David Moyes at the Abbey mid 1980's. Played a competent honest game within his (slightly limited skillset). More than good enough for the level at the time. But wow, other than the kiss of death as the anointed one after Ferguson, what a career!

unlabelledView post →I want to finish my latest NG+ for the dlc but I’m at the Abbey and it’s honestly my least favorite part of the game. It used to the the Grand Exhibition but that one grew on me, but the Abbey hasn’t, and it’s tiring how long it is, not to mention how easy it is to fall from places.
unlabelledView post →What a lovely start to 2025 it was with proper lower league football in Cambridge although Cambs came up short against Reading. The usual fish and chippies after the game after rainy and windy day at the Abbey Stadium.

unlabelledView post →Wild game at the Abbey this afternoon. One of the worst first halves I've seen in a long time left Cambridge a goal down to Tranmere. Second half was one of the best, basketballesque mad to-and-fro, ending up 4-2 to Cambridge. Shane Lavery's goal registered 8.2 on the Yeboah scale.
