Game Description: “Red Handed” is a social deduction party game where players take on the roles of detectives and suspects trying to uncover the truth behind a series of mysterious crimes. With clever clues, clever lies, and a dash of luck, can you unravel the tangled web of deceit and uncover the identity of the guilty party?

How to Play:

Assemble a group of 4-8 players, each taking on the role of a detective or suspect.
The game is divided into rounds, with each round representing a new crime scene.
At the start of each round, each player receives a set of clues, which may include witness statements, forensic evidence, and suspicious alibis.
Players then take turns asking questions, sharing information, and making accusations to try to uncover the identity of the guilty party.
As the game progresses, players can use their clues to build a case against a suspect or defend themselves against false accusations.
The game ends when the guilty party is revealed, and the remaining players vote on who they think committed the crime.
The player who correctly identifies the guilty party earns points, while the guilty party earns points for successfully evading detection.

Players can continue asking questions and sharing information until all Clue cards have been revealed or a player makes an accusation.
If a player accuses another player, the accused player must reveal their Suspect card and any remaining Clue cards.
The game ends when the guilty party is revealed, and the remaining players vote on who they think committed the crime.
The player who correctly identifies the guilty party earns points, while the guilty party earns points for successfully evading detection.
