📖 About This Game
MISTRUTH is a brand new card game that rewards honesty, but makes lying necessary to survive. It takes just 20 seconds to learn, but it’s impossible to master. There is no luck - only your ability to intuit, collaborate, and deceive.
There is no winner, just one loser.
Every turn, players engage in an open discussion and offer one another a choice of cards. The goal is work together so that someone collects all four of a specific card type. BUT: one player holds MISTRUTH, and their sole aim is to pass that card on to avoid losing the game.
When someone holds 4 identical cards, with nothing else in their hand, the game is over.
The player holding MISTRUTH loses.
