Fiesta de los Muertos

Players portray deceased characters returning for a festive reunion and secretly assign each other one-word descriptors that hint at their identities. Each round, a descriptor card travels between players and is altered slightly by subsequent holders, so clues change over time. Players cooperatively use the evolving words, guessing both their own character and others’ characters through imaginative interpretation and deduction. The game focuses on communication, memory of prior clues, and group reasoning to identify identities before the round ends.
