Mrs. White - white; and Mrs. Peacock - blue.
# 6 miniature weapons: Rope, Lead Pipe, Knife, Wrench, Candlestick. Revolver

SETUP
1. Look on the board for the START space and Suspect name nearest you. Take that Suspect token as your playing piece and put it on that space. If fewer than six are playing, be sure to place the remaining token(s) onto the appropriate name(s) - they might, after all, be involved in the crime, and they must be on the premises!
2. Place each of the weapons in a different room. Select any six of the nine rooms.
3. Place the empty envelope marked "Case File CONFIDENTIAL" Onto the "X" in the center of the board.
4. Sort the pack of cards into three groups: Suspects, Rooms and Weapons. Shuffle each group separately and place each face down on the table. Then - so no one can see them - take the top card from each group and place it into the envelope. The Case File now contains the answers to the questions: Who? Where? What Weapon?
5. Shuffle together the three piles of remaining cards. Then deal them out face down clockwise around the table. (It doesn’t matter if some players receive more cards than others.) Secretly look at your own cards: Because they’re in your hand, they can’t be in the Case File - which means: none of your cards was involved in the crime!
6. Take a detective’s notebook sheet and, so no one can see what you write, fold it in half: Check off the cards that are in your hand, if you wish.
7. Miss Scarlet - the player with the red token - always plays first. Play then proceeds, in turn, to the first player’s left.
