2 to 6 can play. One card is placed aside, the character being the the
murderer. The remainder of the cards are dealt out to the players, it
murderer. The remainder of the cards are dealt out to the players, it
doesn't matter if they don't divide equally. The first player t
doesn't matter if they don't divide equally. The first player places one of his
cards on a matching space on the board. After this players in turn
place a card next to one on the board. If a player can't play, the
one who went before him draws a card, blind, from his hand and
keeps it.
When a player discovers a corpse, by playing the last card of
that character, he receives 10 points. He also can look at 2 cards, either
from one player or 1 each from 2 players, drawn blind.
When a player thinks he knows the murderer, he writes an acusation
and looks at the card. If correct he collects 100 points and the game
is over. If wrong, he loses 50 points, and is out of the game, which con-
tinues.
The game plays in about 15 minutes, so that a number of games can
be played and a score kept.
If the first player plays between two of the same character and the
next player happens <s>to be out</s> not to have that character, that player
is at a bad disadvantage. Claude is going to place stars on one space of
each character and the opening play must be on one of these spaces.
