How It Works
You roll seven white dice and one colored time die up to three times. Then you use up to six dice to move on the modular board, gather evidence, or get assistance. Dice values determine your actions, while a time marker tracks the limited investigation time. Tile Placement shapes the house layout and suspect distribution each game.
