Similo

No — the Clue Giver cannot speak, make gestures, nor use any other method to communicate; they may only play Clue cards on the table. (rulebook, page 2)

The Clue Giver draws 1 card secretly as the Secret Character, then draws 11 more and shuffles the Secret Character among them to create a 12‑card 4×3 grid; the Clue Giver also draws a hand of 5 Clue cards. (rulebook, page 1)

Vertical clues indicate the characters shown have something similar to the Secret Character, while horizontal clues indicate the characters shown have something different. (rulebook, page 2)

The game lasts five rounds: remove 1 card in round 1, 2 in round 2, 3 in round 3, 4 in round 4, and after the fifth clue remove 1 of the final 2; if the Guessers ever remove the Secret Character they immediately lose, and if only the Secret Character remains the group wins. (rulebook, pages 2, 4)

Clue cards that are played are not removed at the end of the round — they remain on the table and stay valid until the end of the game; the Clue Giver also draws one card after playing to refill their hand to five. (rulebook, page 2)

Clues can be based on anything the Clue Giver chooses (physical details, emotions, professions, ideas, etc.); the similarities or differences are limited only by the Clue Giver’s imagination and the Guessers’ interpretation. (rulebook, page 3)
