Description

In The Lie, a quick and simple card game designed by Eugeni Castaño and Eloi Pujadas, things aren't always as they seem. With a playtime of just 15 to 25 minutes, this game is perfect for a fun and fast-paced experience with friends and family, supporting 2 to 6 players. The cards in the game feature numbers from 1 to 4 in four different colors, but when you flip them over, you'll discover that either the color or number has changed, adding a twist to your strategy. Your goal is to cleverly choose combinations that allow you to play a higher number of the same color, all while navigating the unpredictable nature of the cards. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins the match, and the player with the most points after a series of matches takes the game. With its easy-to-learn rules and exciting gameplay, The Lie is a great addition to any game night, and its compact playtime makes it easy to fit in a match or two. Published in 2024, this base game is a great introduction to the world of card games, and its unique mechanics, including ladder climbing and set collection, will keep you coming back for more.
