Description

You Lying Sack is a ridiculously fun party game designed by Penn Jillette, where being a good liar can be a real advantage. In this quick 15-minute game, 2 to 5 players take turns trying to get rid of their "bad things" - foam pieces that can fill up their pile and get them eliminated. The goal is to be the last player standing, and to do that, you'll need to convince others to take your bad things off your hands. Each turn, you'll roll a die, draw from a sack filled with bad things and one good thing, and then try to pass off your bad things to another player. The game is easy to learn, but tricky to master, as you'll need to use your bluffing skills to convince others that your hand is full of bad things. If someone takes the bait, they'll add to their own pile, bringing them closer to elimination. But if no one falls for your lie, you'll be stuck with the bad things, and if you collect ten or more, you're out of the game. With its simple rules and fast-paced gameplay, You Lying Sack is a great addition to any game night, and its short playtime means you can play multiple rounds in no time. Released in 2022, this base game is a must-try for fans of party games and bluffing mechanics.
