Description

The Message is a thrilling card game for 3 to 9 players that's all about bluffing, deduction, and teamwork. Published in 2009, this game is easy to learn and can be played in 30 to 60 minutes. Players take on one of three identities - Underground, Army, or Passby - each with their own special character ability. The goal is to collect the right information while avoiding false clues, which can be deadly - receive three false information cards and you're out of the game. As players draw and share function cards, they must use their hand management skills to stay one step ahead. With 81 different function cards to use, players can interrupt information, burn away false clues, and more. The Underground wins by collecting three red information cards, while the Army needs three blue cards. Passby players, on the other hand, have a special mission to complete based on their character. With its unique blend of teamwork, bluffing, and deduction, The Message is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
