I played it once. The game instructions say to cut the cards, but the cuts have already been made, and the game can be played without any problems. Regarding the listing of Murder Mystery games: Some cards and booklets may have creases or scratches from gameplay. Checking all the cards and booklets takes a lot of time, so when listing Murder Mystery games, I will basically list them as "Slightly scratched or dirty." Please understand this before purchasing. The condition is as shown in the images, and the game has been reset so it can be played again, so there are no problems for gameplay. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments section before purchasing. Thank you.
