Gameplay

Each player is given 2 Claim Cards that they must place face-up in front of them, each claim card is worth an amount of points, both positive and negative! They then place a cube on the starter spot! Then each player draws 5 black cards (and keeps these secret!)

On their turns, the players must try to prove the validity of their claim cards, while disproving their opponents.

On their turn a player must add a new Claim Card face-up in front of them until they have 2 total. Then, from their hand they may…

  • Play 2 Evidence cards – either on themselves, or another player!
    • The number on the Evidence Card either pushes the cube on the Claim Card up or down! If the cube ever reaches either the top or bottom, it is removed and added to the player that controls its score! They then add another
  • Or play 1 Incident card, which can give them the ultimate edge

The first player to reach the right number of points (determined by number of players wins!)

What’s in the Box?

  • 71 Evidence and Incident Cards (Black)
  • 30 Claim Cards (White)
  • 1 Rulebook
  • 10 Gold Cubes!
