## Rules questions

### How do we deal the cards and pick who is the spy?

The dealer selects a random ziplock bag (a location deck), removes the cards carefully, takes as many cards from the top as there are players, shuffles those, and deals one to each player; one of those cards will be the SPY card (page 3). The dealer participates in the round as a normal player, and the dealer for the next round is the player who was the spy in the previous round (pages 2–3).

### Can I ask a follow-up question after someone answers?

No — each question is asked once and no follow-up questions are allowed; after answering, the respondent then asks another player a question (page 3).

### When can the spy reveal their card and look at the location list?

The spy may stop the clock at any time (unless another player has already stopped it) by revealing their spy card while the game clock is still running, then consult the location list and attempt to name the location; if correct the spy wins, if not the other players win (page 7).

### If time runs out, how do accusations and voting work — does the accused get to vote?

When time runs out each player in turn (starting with the dealer) may accuse someone; if all players unanimously agree with an accusation the accused does not vote and their card is revealed, and play resolves accordingly; if no unanimous conviction occurs after every player has had a turn, the spy wins (page 7).

### What happens to the cards after a round — can we reuse that deck later in the same game?

After the round ends the cards used that round are returned to the dealer and cannot be played again in the current game; the ziplock bag for that deck is returned to the box (page 7).
