Description

Players are first assigned to two teams – Team L and Team Kira – depending on which True Identity card they are dealt, which include L and Kira themselves, as well as Kira's believers and L's police allies.

Two item cards are then distributed at random to each player, including the Death Note and Arrest cards that Kira and L must use respectively to attain victory. The rest of the item cards form a draw deck. Each player spends their turn drawing one card and playing one of the three cards in their hand.

For Team L, victory lies in getting the Arrest card to L and using it to expose the true identity of Kira. For Team Kira, victory lies in getting the Death Note card to Kira and using it to kill off L while trying to stay incognito.

Things won't be that easy, however. Players have no idea which True Identity card the other players hold, meaning that a Kira player could very well pass himself off as L, getting his hand on the Death Note in the process. You'll need to use the item card abilities, as well as your deduction skills, to prevail.
