Only online issue is the hint cards or the pay to win aspect which ruins the game sadly.
The fact you can look at a persons entire hand with a card is crazy and ruins all balance.

You can only use each Hint Card effect once per Online Game - which means you can only peek at one random card from ONE player per game, you can only do the free move once per game, and you can only block ONE player from making an accusation for a total of ONE turn per game, regardless of whether you have 3 hint cards stockpiled or 3000.

thats not true you can buy hint cards to be able to use them for example 2$ buys you 15 of them you get one hint card free every time you start game if you have more hint cards that you bought you can use them. you can buy them by press teh green + key at the main menu what be point of buying 39 hint cards if you could only use one pre game, sense you get one free per game ?

far as i gather from talking to people who paid to use cheat abiltys, they are only allowed use one pre turn not pre game.

I may self have used more then one hint card pre game. - done it in both single player and mutiplayer.

I have used hint card to allow me to see random card, and then i used hint card to allow me to make free move, and if you pay monies for hint cards you can use them to do super acusations or even use them to stop people form making acusation for that turn.

your only limit is what you pay for if you dont pay for anything then you limited to the free move and one hint pre game, and no super acusation or what ever its called thats for MP games.

and you can stop the AI from making a suggestion for that turn.

but there also feature in game that you can pay for that allows you to see when someone is about to win game or is getting close to winning.

its a pay to win game currently they should allow the host to disable cheat system it should be a on and off option.


whole thing is a cheating system its in cheating menu after all and you can pay for how often you want use it and what you want out of it for cheats.


even if they made it so you can only cheat onces pre game you still able to pay monie for it to do more often and to open up more types of cheats that others cant use.

so its bad system period.

If this WAS the case i could live with it (with gritted teeth), but it turns out this isnt the case.

I see a lot of misinformation on this thread, so to clarify, this is how hints work.

There are different hints for single-player and multiplayer, and different restrictions on usage.

Single-Player

In SP, there are 3 consumable hints and 1 permanent hint. In SP, consumable hints can be used once per TURN. The hints are:

• Move - move to any room.
  
• Peek - look at an unrevealed card from a specified AI player.
  
• Block - block the AI players from making a suggestion. This lasts until your next turn.
  
• Warning (permanent) - shows a yellow warning triangle next to an AI's profile when they're close to figuring out the murder, and a red warning triangle when they've solved it.

Multiplayer

In MP, there are 3 consumable hints. In MP, each of these hints can only be used once per GAME, so you can use a maximum of THREE hints per MP game. The hints are:

• Move - move to any room. This is the same as the equivalent SP hint.
  
• Reveal - reveals the last card that was secretly shown. This is similar to the Peek hint in SP, but less powerful, because it is context sensitive.
  
• Super Suggest - use this when making a suggestion, and after you are shown one secret card, the suggestion will continue around the circle, so you may be shown a second card. This is not guaranteed - for example, if one player has all 3 of the cards you suggest, you won't get to see a second card. All players benefit when someone uses Super Suggest, as you get information from every secret suggestion (see our strategy guide).

So no, you can't use endless hints in MP. You can't block other players from accusing in MP. You can't be warned when other players are close to winning in MP.

I hope that clears up some misconceptions.
