Hoax (Second Edition)

Players assume secret identities as members of a deceased magnate’s family or household and compete for control of the estate. On their turns, players gather and spend resources to investigate others, attempt to expose lies, and make accusations; a correct accusation eliminates a rival, while an incorrect one removes the accuser. Bluffing and deduction drive play as players try to make opponents believe falsehoods while avoiding detection. The last player remaining after others are eliminated wins.

Si ya estás cansado del jugar al Secret Hitler, prueba Los Impostores.

1 partida en Jesta 2016. Esperaba mucho más de este juego. Pensaba que sería una especie de Coup, pero con mejor temática, mucho mejores ilustraciones y corrigiendo sus errores. Pero el juego no es mejor que el Coup y, por muy bonitas que sean las ilustraciones, no sirven de nada si gusta.
