Bluffing

This is a party game where players vote on 32 contenders in a NCAA tournament like bracket. A contender advances to the next round when they receive a majority of the votes of the players. The players vote based on a question asked. For example, the contenders in the first round might be "Dolly Parton" vs. "street mime". The question might be, "Who would you rather be for a day?" All the players debate the match-up and then all openly vote on it. Play continues like this for each match-up.

Each player makes their picks, and gets their points based on what contender they believe will win the entire tourney(4), who will make it to the championship round(2 for each pick), who will make it to the final four (1 for each pick), and a bonus pick(4). The bonus pick is where each player tries to guess what one of the other players will choose as the winner of the tournament. The points for each pick is in parentheses.

The contenders are drawn randomly from 500 tiles and placed on the bracket in four categories (including an example of one contender from each.)
Arenas - aka "Places" - Jamaica
Contenders - aka "People" - Mark Twain
Moves - aka "Actions" - Showering
Gear - aka "Things"- Cocktails

After all the tiles are placed, a player draws a random "Knockout"card. This "Knockout" card is the question for the final, championship round. Once every player sees that question, they make their picks and place them in an envelope until the end of the game.

The object is make accurate picks as well as secretly convince the other players to pick your choices.

A group of monsters is traversing the perils of the castle conquering guard after guard, collecting treasurers along the way, as kings set new rules. You and your fellow players are these monsters in Mighty Monsters (first announced as Heroes' Gold).

The game is played in rounds equal to the number of players, except that in a three- or four-player game the number of rounds is doubled. Each round has three phases — Placement, Resolution, and Cleanup/Setup — and is controlled by a king who sets a special rule for the round.

Players can choose from six races of monsters; each player receives a unique set of five monster cards in their chosen race with strength ranging from 1-5 and healing costs ranging from 0-2. To conquer the king and therefore conquer the castle and gain the treasure, players in turn order may place an available monster from their hand on any empty guard space in the castle.

Once the placement phase is over, guard cards are revealed one at a time and resolved, working your way towards the king.

It's a threequel of the award-winning deduction party game from the future — well, and from the past, too!

Get ready for an outstanding time, traveling across the brightest eras and countries! Expose a spy in a neanderthal cave or in a lunar base, hide out in a WWI Airship or in Leonardo's studio, and do your best not to spill all the secrets of the Japanese ninja or of a Spanish entity you surely didn't expect here!

Spyfall: Time Travel is a standalone threequel for Spyfall — an easy-to-learn party game that features bluffing, suspicion, probing questions, and clever answers. At the start of each round, players receive a secret card informing them of the group's location, except for one player who receives the spy card instead. The spy doesn't know where they are, but if they can figure out the location before their cover is blown, they win the round!

This game is fully compatible with other games of Spyfall.

Princess Jing is a game of bluffing for two players or two groups of players.

A palace can quickly become a maze for an escaping princess, where each mirror can either reveal a way out, or conceal a trap! It is up to her to use them at her advantage, before her guardians turn them into spying devices!

Each player moves their princess across the board, hiding her progression, while placing allies and mirrors to uncover your opponent’s princess. Escaping the palace and running off with your sweetheart will require both wits and stealth!

The monolithic city-state of Dûhr is at once a crucible of emerging and forgotten cultures, a cynosure of commerce, and a titan of military might. Its Great and Lesser Houses rise and fall with the whims of its Family Royal, the Sovereign House Kythidûhr. Amidst the festivals of summer, House Kythidûhr announced its intent to elevate one of Dûhr’s Lesser Houses to Great House status. By autumn’s frosts, the Lesser Houses were deeply embroiled in a fierce battle for the coveted title. Not with soldiers, for that would waste blood and gold, but with the most insidious of political weapons: suspicion and scandal. They attacked each other with aspersions and calumny, well devised and craftily exploited, designed to erode the social standing of their rival Houses and thereby remove them from contention.

Dûhr: The Lesser Houses accommodates 4 to 6 players. Each player is the master of a Lesser House of Dûhr, vying for Great House status. Players take turns using cards in their hand to trigger events, place suspicions and scandals on each other’s House, or activate their own House’s unique ability to affect cards already placed. The accumulation of suspicion and scandal cards on a House card erodes the populace’s favor for that House by raising suggestions of wrongdoing or embroiling it in scandals that incite public outrage.

All Houses begin the game without any suspicions or scandals and favored by the people of Dûhr. When a House accumulates a combined total of 5 suspicion and/or scandal cards, that House falls into disfavor with the populace. If a disfavored House ever has 3 or more revealed scandal cards, the House becomes vilified. The game ends immediately when the number of favored Houses remaining is 1 or none. Whoever has the highest score at that point wins the game. It is possible for a disfavored or vilified House to outscore a favored House and win the game!

Pronunciation note: pronounce "û" in "Dûhr" like the "oo" in "doom."
