Insider

Publisher: Pixie Games

french version

A very simple game: role-playing cards are randomly distributed for 4 to 8 players, designating a game master, an Insider (traitor), all the other players are honest citizens.

The game master must make people guess a designated word on a secret card. During an hourglass of about 5 minutes, the players ask him as many questions as possible to which he answers only with "yes / no / I don't know".

BUT the traitor also knows the secret word: it is up to him to subtly direct the group's questions, influence the general reflection, or even give the right answer.

If the word is not found, the whole team loses. If, on the other hand, the word is discovered, then the question arises: "Is the player who found the right answer the traitor?"

The players debate by discussing the answers given and their timing, the relevance of the remarks, etc... Then they vote against the player in question.

If he is the traitor and the majority accuses him, the citizens win.

If he is a citizen and the majority accuses him, the traitor wins.

If it is a citizen and does not have a majority, then a second vote is held to determine who is the traitor.

If citizens identify him, they win the game without him. If he stays in the shadows, then he wins alone!

A minimalist and frenzied party-game where you will never know who to trust. For more challenging games, play with free themes or use a variant in which there may be no traitors!
