Hoax
Bluff your way through as you use character powers to collect goods, acquire clues, and deduce your opponents’ secret identities. Each player has a hidden character but may claim to be any of six characters, using their abilities to pursue the truth while concealing their own identity. If the majority challenges your claim, admit the hoax and lose that character’s power—or reveal your identity and win the game.
