Description

In Hoax, you'll embark on a thrilling adventure of deception and deduction, navigating a medieval fantasy world with up to 11 other players. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll dive into a game of hidden roles and bluffing, where each player is assigned a secret character with unique abilities. But here's the twist - you can pretend to be anyone, using their powers to acquire goods and gather clues about your opponents' true identities. As you play, you'll need to use your wits to figure out who's who, while keeping your own identity under wraps. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, Hoax is a fast-paced and exciting game that's perfect for large groups. Originally published in 1981, this classic game has been reimagined for new generations, offering a fun and challenging experience that's sure to keep you on your toes.
