Set up:

Choose one player to be the dealer. The player to the left of the dealer goes first, play goes clockwise. Deal each player 3 cards from the Cutthroat deck. Then give each player a Character card. Then give each player an Identity card. Do not show anyone your Identity card. Place the remaining cards face down as the draw pile. If you are playing with 4 or 5 players then take out the Jester Or the Investigator or both.

How To Play:

On your turn you must do the action of your Character card. Once you have done the action, you must play a card, if you do not have any cards then end your turn. You may play cards on any player. Once you have played a card, end your turn. If at any point in the game you are given a Murder card then set it aside, that card cannot be stolen, given away, or discarded. If you are given a Murder card and are not healed by the time the Murder happens then show everyone your Identity card and leave the game. If the draw pile runs out, then take the discarded cards and reshuffle them, then place them face down as the draw pile. If you are the doctor and a player dies then you may save that player by giving that player a medicine card. Discard both cards.

How To Win:

You may play 3 rounds of Cutthoat. In each round you will get points by winning a round. If you win a round, show your Identity card to everyone, in the top right corner is a number, that number is the amount of points you get for winning. At the end of the 3 rounds whoever has the most points wins. If a player dies and is the object death of your Identity card then you win.
