Setting Up
To set up, each player chooses a game board with 24 different characters on it. The players then set up their playing area by placing the board upright in their stand. Shuffle the character cards and draw one randomly to determine which character each player must guess. Once both characters have been chosen, players flip over the red and blue tabs to reveal their chosen character.
Game Play
The game begins with the youngest player (or the player chosen to go first) asking a yes or no question about their opponent’s mystery character. For example, “Does your character have glasses?” If the answer is yes, the player eliminates all characters without glasses. If the answer is no, they eliminate all characters with glasses.
Each player takes turns asking a question until one player is confident enough to make an accusation of who they think their opponent’s mystery character is. If the accusation is correct, the accusing player wins the game. However, if the accusation is incorrect, that player loses the game, and their opponent wins.
Helpful Tips
1. Start with broad questions. When starting, it would be best to ask broad questions to eliminate a large number of characters. Examples of good questions to ask would be, “Does your character wear glasses?” or “Is your character a boy?” This will help narrow down the possibilities before you start asking the more specific questions.
2. Use the process of elimination. With every question asked, make sure to take notice of which characters have been eliminated. This will help you prioritize which questions to ask next to further narrow down the possibilities.
3. Pay attention to your opponent’s responses. Your opponent’s body language and facial expressions may give you a hint on the answer they give you. A shorter response could mean that the answer is yes or no, while a longer response might suggest they are trying to throw you off.
4. Take risks. Don’t be afraid to take risks and make an accusation. Sometimes, taking a chance is the only way a player can win the game. Just make sure to choose carefully and be confident in your choice.
