Each player starts with some of the cards of potential suspects/rooms/murder weapons and can disprove the other's accusations by revealing those cards to the accuser.

Move your piece around the mansion

When you enter a room make a murder suggestion based on: who, where, and how?

Use a checklist to keep track and eliminate possible suspects/rooms/weapons.

Finally, once you are sure of what took place, make an accusation. If correct, you win JClue!
