Description
Fiction is a word game of deception where one player takes on the role of the Lie-brarian, choosing a secret word from a classic work of literature. The other players, working together, must use logic and literacy to figure out the word as quickly as possible. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, this semi-cooperative game is easy to learn and can be enjoyed by 2 to 8 players. As the team of Guessers work together, they must be careful to decipher the clues given by the Lie-brarian, which always contain exactly one lie. With only 20 minutes to solve the puzzle, the pressure is on to figure out the word before time runs out. Designed by Peter C. Hayward and published in 2023, Fiction is a fun and challenging game that combines deduction and wordplay, making it a great choice for fans of Wordle-inspired games.
