The Deception of Antiques: 12 Chinese Zodiac Bronze Heads

Players take the roles of characters divided into two opposing camps: the Appraisers and the Counterfeiters. Across three rounds, four Chinese zodiac bronze heads are revealed, with two genuine antiques and two fakes selected at random. Players use their character abilities and deduction to identify the genuine heads and submit them to the state. The Appraisers earn victory points by finding genuine antiques and exposing the Counterfeiters, while the opposing camp uses abilities to mislead them. If the Appraisers do not reach the required score after three rounds, a final investigation determines whether they can protect key players and uncover the Counterfeiters’ leader. An app is required to play.
