Description

In Deductio, you're on a mission to figure out your opponents' secret numbers before they uncover yours. This clever game, designed by Nick Federico and published in 2023, is all about strategic clue-giving and clever deduction. With simple rules that can be explained in no time, 2 to 4 players can dive into a game that lasts just 20 minutes, making it the perfect fit for a quick game night. Each player starts with a Secret Number card, ranging from 1 to 20, and the goal is to guess what the others have. As you take turns, you'll have to decide whether to give clues about your own Secret Number or try to guess what another player has. You can choose from three face-up Clue cards that truthfully describe your number, helping others narrow down their guesses. But if you're feeling confident, you can skip the clues and make a guess about another player's number instead. Just be careful - an incorrect guess will give you two Clue cards that describe your own number, while a correct guess will earn you a point and bring you closer to winning. With its unique blend of deduction and card drafting mechanics, Deductio is a fun and challenging game that's all about outsmarting your opponents and being the first to crack the code.
