<div>== Objective ==<br />
<br />
To be the first player to solve your own Mystery, correctly identifying the '''Person''',<br />
'''Location''', and '''Weapon'''.<br />
<br />
== Setup ==<br />
<br />
Each player will receive '''one Person''', '''one Location''', and '''one Weapon card''' in addition of two random cards. You must choose exactly '''one Person''', '''one Location''', and '''one Weapon card''', and place them face down in front of you. The two remaining cards are kept secret in front of you.<br />
<br />
'''Playing Hint''': You can choose any combination, but try to avoid three of the same suit<br />
<br />
== Player's Turn ==<br />
<br />
At the beginning of your turn, if you have no Magnifying Glasses, take one from the general supply. If the supply is empty, take one from the player of your choice instead.<br />
<br />
Next, “spend” all your Magnifying Glasses. Each Magnifying Glass spent lets you choose one of the following actions. You can take these actions in any order you choose, and you may repeat the same action more than once (exception: Make an<br />
Accusation, see below). Once you’ve spent all your Magnifying Glasses your turn is over and it’s the next player’s turn.<br />
<br />
== The Actions ==<br />
<br />
=== Question a Witness ===<br />
<br />
Give your Magnifying Glass to the player of your choice, then ask that player how many cards they see that are of one suit or one category.<br />
<br />
The player you ask '''must answer truthfully''' (no bluffing is allowed!), based on everything they can see: all the cards on the screens in front of the other players and the two cards behind their screen<br />
<br />
=== Consult the Secret Informant ===<br />
<br />
Give your Magnifying Glass to the player who has no Magnifying Glasses (if more than one, the tied player closest to you, counting clockwise; if all players have at least one Magnifying Glass, discard it to the general supply instead), then choose '''one''' of the face down Secret Informant cards, look at it secretly, then put it back where it was, face down.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': This option is not available in a six-player game.<br />
<br />
=== Make an Accusation ===<br />
<br />
Give your Magnifying Glass to the player who has no Magnifying Glasses (if more than one, the tied player closest to you, counting clockwise; if all players have at least one Magnifying Glass, discard it to the general supply instead), then '''try to solve your mystery!''' Name '''one Person''', '''one Location''', and '''one Weapon''' (for example: “It was the Butcher in the Park with the Sword!”). You cannot make an accusation that includes cards you can see (either behind your screen or on other players’ screens).<br />
<br />
* If your accusation is '''correct''', you have solved your mystery and '''you win the game!'''<br />
* If you're '''wrong''', they just tell you! '''Your turn is over''': discard any Magnifying Glasses you have left to the general supply.<br />
<br />
== Additional rules for 2 player games ==<br />
<br />
* Ignore the Magnifying Glasses and their rules. Each player always takes only one action each turn.<br />
* When you ask how many cards your opponent sees, you '''must''' also specify "including the card on your left" or "including the card on your right". Your opponent only takes into account the card behind their screen on that side<br />
<br />
== Variants ==<br />
* Top Secret: This variant is for 3-6 players. Each player is given a top secret token. When you question a witness, you can discard it with the magnifying glass. If so, the question and answer are only visible to the witness and the questioner.</div>BoardSlayer2015http://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/index.php?title=Gamehelpillustori&diff=6252Gamehelpillustori2020-11-25T14:18:25Z<p>BoardSlayer2015: I noticed that some of the English is off, so I made some minor changes to the script.</p>

<div>=== Overview === <br />
<br />
"Illustori"(イラストリー) is a word chain game where you name artwork cards.<br />
The artwork name that the turn player chooses can be a sentence, a quote, an onomatopeia, or anything. All it needs for chaining is the agreement from the other players.<br />
<br />
'''The language option is important'''. Please choose a language that all players can understand.<br />
<br />
=== Game's rule ===<br />
<br />
# The first player can choose any word or phrase that represents their card, but the other players get to vote to accept or reject it.<br />
## No player cards are reduced by the action.<br />
# On each player's turn, they play one of the following actions:<br />
## Select a card and input its name that chains the last artwork name.<br />
## Select one or more cards and swap them.<br />
# If they chained the artwork name, all players discuss where the name matches the artwork or not. After that, everyone (excluding the turn player) vote if they agree the naming fits.<br />
## If at least half of players agreed, the word chain succeeded! The next player should chain artwork name with the succeeded one.<br />
## If less than half of players agreed, the word chain failed. The turn player discards the played card and draws a new card. The next player should continue with the previous artwork name.<br />
# Once someone places all their cards, that will be the last round. The game ends once the player who decided the first artwork name finished their turn. All players who placed all their cards win the game!<br />
<br />
==== Word chain rule in English ====<br />
<br />
This is the original rule for BGA that is easier than the one in the game's manual.<br />
<br />
# Input artwork name's first and last letter with Alphabet.<br />
# The next artwork name should start with the previous artwork name's last two letters.<br />
#; ex&#58; Moon<br />
#: Next starts "o" or "n".<br />
# The player (maybe its very rarely...) who names an artwork using a word that ends with 'xx' will get a penalty. They should discard the played card and draw a new card from the stack.<br />
<br />
==== Word chain rule in Japanese ====<br />
<br />
# Input words' first and last letter with Katakana or Hiragana.<br />
# The next artwork name should start with the last letter of the last artwork name.<br />
#; ex&#58; つきよ<br />
#: Next starts "よ".<br />
# Some letters have alternatives.<br />
#; ex1&#58; ばしゃ<br />
#: Next starts "や".<br />
#; ex2&#58; やかた<br />
#: Next starts "た" or "だ".<br />
#; ex3&#58; ラッパ<br />
#: Next starts "は", "ば", or "ぱ".<br />
# If the last letter of the artwork name was chōonpu, the very last letter becomes the starting letter.<br />
#; ex&#58; ピッチャー<br />
#: Next starts "や".<br />
# The player who names an artwork using a word that ends with 'ん' will get a penalty. They should discard the played card and draw a new card from the stack.</div>BoardSlayer2015
