OVERVIEW
The King of Hearts, spiritual leader of the playing card deck, has been found murdered. His head practically hacked off from behind with a sword. One of the remaining picture cards must have killed him. But which of the four suits harbours the killer?

SPADES
The suit of POWER |
HEARTS
The suit of LOVE |
DIAMONDS

A court of enquiry has been announced, headed by Mr Justice Joker. Each player will represent the interests of one suit, hoping to prove to the Joker that the killer is not from their clan. While at the same time trying to accumulate as much money as possible throughout the game betting on Mr Betts the Bookmaker's Homicidal Handicap!
