The Deal
Divide all the cards into their categories and randomly remove one of each category and put them back in the box. The randomly chosen cards are now the secret details to the crime that you must uncover, so make sure no players take a sneak peek!
Then shuffle the remaining cards and deal them out evenly to all players (so
that the game is as fair as possible). If there are any spare cards left over,
they should be shown to all players to tick off from their notes.
