Played my first game - really enjoyed it! Just want to clarify:
The first card draw of a 'turn' determines both the location AND the associated event via this single card, right?
For example, I draw 'The Study' (Jack of Hearts) and then look at the Jack row in the events, and find the corresponding suit to determine who I encounter in that location...
If I then earn a clue, I draw a new card to determine what that is.
Many thanks! Looking forward to playing again.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Did you manage to clear your name and find the true culprit?
Yes, that's correct. Whereas in many other Hints & Hijinks games—including my own other hack, The Cold Dark—you select a location yourself and then go through the procedure, in Stoneshire Manor the card draw pulls double duty deciding for you who is found and in which location.
The clue is then decided by a further drawn card (as an aside, this has a strange and intended effect on reducing the amount of interactions you have with the possible culprit by removing their scenes when a clue is drawn).
From what I can see you definitely followed the correct procedure.
