《 Optional rule 》
To vary your game, there is a number of optional rules you can use.

●Custom card set
You can use cards from both the basic set and the expansion set to create
your own custom set. However, for the game to work you need to follow thefollowing guidelines to create a set of 16 cards:
1) Form a set comprised of 1 card each with Investigation speeds 1 to 5, 2 cards
with speed 6 and 3 cards each with speeds 7, 8 and X.
2) For cards with speed 6-8 and X, use only the cards from either the base set orthe expansion set. Don't mix several different 7s, for example.
3) Put the unused cards back in the box.
