Created the How to Play

New page

= How to Play Fugitive =

== Overview ==
'''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.

The Fugitive secretly travels using numbered location cards, and the Marshal uses deduction and logic to figure out where they are before they escape.
----

== Roles ==

=== Fugitive ===

* Your goal is to reach the final hideout without getting caught.
* Play location cards in ascending order to create your secret escape route.
* You may use special cards to make it harder for the Marshal to track you.
* Your locations remain hidden unless the Marshal correctly guesses them.

=== Marshal ===

* Your goal is to uncover every hidden location before the Fugitive escapes.
* On each turn, guess the numbers of the Fugitive's hidden locations.
* A correct guess reveals that location.
* Reveal all locations to win.

----

== Turn Order ==

=== Fugitive Turn ===

# Draw cards.
# Add the next hidden location to your escape route.
# Use any special cards if desired.

=== Marshal Turn ===

# Guess one or more hidden location numbers (depending on the game rules).
# If a guess is correct, that location is revealed.
# If not, play continues.

----

== Winning ==

* '''Fugitive Wins:''' Successfully reaches the final location and survives the Manhunt (if one occurs).
* '''Marshal Wins:''' Reveals every hidden location before the Fugitive completes their escape.

----

== Manhunt ==
When the Fugitive reaches the final hideout ('''Hideout #42'''), check the '''highest-numbered hideout the Marshal has already revealed'''.

=== If the highest revealed hideout is '''29 or lower''' ===
A '''Manhunt''' begins.

* The Marshal guesses the Fugitive's remaining hidden hideouts '''one at a time'''.
* Each '''correct guess''' reveals that hideout, and the Marshal continues guessing.
* If the Marshal reveals '''every remaining hideout''', the Marshal wins.
* If the Marshal makes '''even one incorrect guess''', the Manhunt ends immediately and the Fugitive escapes.

=== If the highest revealed hideout is '''30 or higher''' ===
There is '''no Manhunt'''.

The Fugitive escapes immediately after reaching '''Hideout #42''' and wins the game.
----

== Tips ==

=== For the Fugitive ===

* Leave unpredictable gaps between locations.
* Save special cards for crucial moments.
* Balance speed with secrecy.

=== For the Marshal ===

* Track every revealed location carefully.
* Eliminate impossible numbers.
* Use deduction rather than random guessing.

The game is won through careful planning, bluffing, and logical deduction—not luck.
