YOUR MISSION
The goal.
Keep your base game’s objective: Turtles expose the Murderer or survive; the Murderer eliminates them.

02 · MAKE YOUR MOVE
Your turn.
Play up to three
Play up to three cards on your turn, resolving their effects in order.
If you played no Action
Draw two cards from your choice of the two piles, then return one card from your hand to the top of its matching pile. If you played an Action, skip this draw-and-return step.
Follow the evidence
On your turn, use two matching Clues for a Character to accuse that player. A correct accusation of the Murderer wins for the Turtles.
03 · KEEP THIS HANDY

Quick answers.
One more question before you make your move?
Can I use this pack by itself?
No. You need the matching edition of Who Murdered the Turtle?.
Does the expansion change the base turn sequence?
Use the current base game’s two-pile turn sequence. Follow the printed text when an expansion card adds a special effect.
