Read the full game description

Wanted. There are 48 suspects for the murder, can you reveal the killer? The game has 48 cards showing combinations of old/young/man/women, in 4 colors, with different murder weapons. One player shuffles the cards and takes the top card without revealing it to the other players. This is the perpetrator. Now he takes the next card and places it face-up on the table. He compares it to the perpetrator-card. If one the features (old/young/man/woman/poison/dagger/gun/blue/green/yellow/brown) matches the perpetrator-card he says that the person on that card is suspicious. If none of the features match he says that the person on the card is innocent. This continues until a player thinks he knows who is the perpetrator. If the accuser is wrong, he may not guess again until another player succesfully accuses the right perpetrator. This player scores 1 point. Now the next player shuffles the cards and picks a perpetrator and a new round starts. If all players started a new round, the game ends and the player with most points wins. In case of a tie, one additional round is played with the tied players. Players take turn calling and the winner is the best detective.
