Accuse!

Players compete to identify three hidden evidence cards—one suspect, one weapon and one location—by planting face-down declarations and challenging opponents’ plays. On a turn a player declares a card and places it in its category; others may challenge that declaration at the cost of revealing one of their own cards. Any player may halt play to make a formal accusation: a correct accusation wins, a wrong one eliminates the accuser and opens a bidding round for the next attempt. The game emphasizes bluffing, selective information disclosure and timed deduction as players balance risk, traps and revealed clues to deduce the solution.
