The Lie

Players hold a hand of cards that display a number (1–4) and a color, but each card’s face is altered: its revealed number or color may differ from what is printed. On a turn, players play cards to build higher numbers of the same revealed color by choosing which altered cards to combine. The goal is to be the first to empty one’s hand; matches are scored and the player with the most points after several matches wins. Bluffing and deduction about the cards’ true values influence which combinations are safe to play.

    Partidas contenidas. Festival de caos que recuerda a Scout. Lo mejor, que te ries mientras lo juegas y mucho. Lo peor, que es muy azaroso y puede no gustar al grupo
