## Description
In 'Murder, She Crows', get ready for an intriguing hunt where the objective is to solve 'murders' in a very peculiar way: by forming sets of cards. A 'murder' can be a group of three or more cards of the same value, or a run of three or more cards of consecutive values (like 1, 2, 3...). The cool thing is that you can build a set and a run simultaneously, keeping them in separate piles in front of you. Each round, the excitement begins by revealing two cards. You choose one to keep, if it fits your run or set, and discard the other. If neither works, both go to the discard pile. But the real adrenaline kicks in when you decide to keep revealing cards, one at a time. You can stop at any point, but if a card doesn't fit into any of your ongoing 'crimes', you 'bust'! Your turn ends immediately, and you only keep the first card revealed, if it can be used. Other players, in reverse order, can 'steal' a card from the discard pile if it's useful to them. Maneuvering between the risk of 'busting' and the temptation to draw more cards is the heart of the game. You can score or discard a run or a set at any point during your turn, but not after you've 'busted'. Scoring is simple: add up the value of the cards, round up to the nearest multiple of 5, and earn one point on the score track. Oh, and if you pass a coin on the track, you get a chance to take a card from the discard pile for your collections. It's a fast-paced game full of risky decisions!
