<hr />
<div>= How to Play Fugitive =<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
'''Fugitive''' is a two-player hidden-information game where one player is the '''Fugitive''' trying to escape, while the other is the '''Marshal''' trying to catch them.<br />
<br />
The Fugitive secretly travels using numbered location cards, and the Marshal uses deduction and logic to figure out where they are before they escape.<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Roles ==<br />
<br />
=== Fugitive ===<br />
<br />
* Your goal is to reach the final hideout without getting caught.<br />
* Play location cards in ascending order to create your secret escape route.<br />
* You may use special cards to make it harder for the Marshal to track you.<br />
* Your locations remain hidden unless the Marshal correctly guesses them.<br />
<br />
=== Marshal ===<br />
<br />
* Your goal is to uncover every hidden location before the Fugitive escapes.<br />
* On each turn, guess the numbers of the Fugitive's hidden locations.<br />
* A correct guess reveals that location.<br />
* Reveal all locations to win.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Turn Order ==<br />
<br />
=== Fugitive Turn ===<br />
<br />
# Draw cards.<br />
# Add the next hidden location to your escape route.<br />
# Use any special cards if desired.<br />
<br />
=== Marshal Turn ===<br />
<br />
# Guess one or more hidden location numbers (depending on the game rules).<br />
# If a guess is correct, that location is revealed.<br />
# If not, play continues.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Winning ==<br />
<br />
* '''Fugitive Wins:''' Successfully reaches the final location and survives the Manhunt (if one occurs).<br />
* '''Marshal Wins:''' Reveals every hidden location before the Fugitive completes their escape.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Manhunt ==<br />
When the Fugitive reaches the final hideout ('''Hideout #42'''), check the '''highest-numbered hideout the Marshal has already revealed'''.<br />
<br />
=== If the highest revealed hideout is '''29 or lower''' ===<br />
A '''Manhunt''' begins.<br />
<br />
* The Marshal guesses the Fugitive's remaining hidden hideouts '''one at a time'''.<br />
* Each '''correct guess''' reveals that hideout, and the Marshal continues guessing.<br />
* If the Marshal reveals '''every remaining hideout''', the Marshal wins.<br />
* If the Marshal makes '''even one incorrect guess''', the Manhunt ends immediately and the Fugitive escapes.<br />
<br />
=== If the highest revealed hideout is '''30 or higher''' ===<br />
There is '''no Manhunt'''.<br />
<br />
The Fugitive escapes immediately after reaching '''Hideout #42''' and wins the game.<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Tips ==<br />
<br />
=== For the Fugitive ===<br />
<br />
* Leave unpredictable gaps between locations.<br />
* Save special cards for crucial moments.<br />
* Balance speed with secrecy.<br />
<br />
=== For the Marshal ===<br />
<br />
* Track every revealed location carefully.<br />
* Eliminate impossible numbers.<br />
* Use deduction rather than random guessing.<br />
<br />
The game is won through careful planning, bluffing, and logical deduction—not luck.</div>Strange-giraffe258
