Awkward Guests: The Walton Case

On your turn you must request information about 2 different references (suspects and/or rooms). In the two‑player variant you instead request information about 4 different references (see page 9; two‑player changes on page 10).

No — non‑active players may only offer cards that contain at least one of the requested references; offering cards without those references is not allowed (see page 9).

Cards you give in exchange may be any cards regardless of their references; the only requirement is that the total information value of the cards you give equals or exceeds the offered total (see page 9).

A player who guesses and is incorrect is eliminated from the game, their cards are revealed to all players and placed in the revealed pile; if you use the app the penalty is different (see page 10).

A suspect can be dismissed if they could not access the Study by any possible route shown on the map, or if all three of their possible motives are dismissed they are innocent; a weapon is dismissed if the coroner's signs do not match, since each weapon leaves two signs and missing one is enough to dismiss it (see pages 11–12).

Shuffle the discard pile (cards under the “Classified Information” card), place the top 3 cards face up for public examination into the revealed pile, then use the remaining shuffled cards as the new game deck (see page 10).
