About Accuse!
Accuse! is a card game in the tradition of classic murder deductions but shorter and more interactive. Plant traps, hide information, and mislead your opponents while you work out the solution first. The game consists of 18 evidence cards: 6 suspects, 6 weapons and 6 locations. Three cards are removed from play, and the rest are dealt out to players. On your turn, you declare a card and place it face down in its location. If anyone suspects you of bluffing, they can challenge...at the risk of revealing one of their own cards. At any stage, anyone can stop the game to start an accusation. If they are right, they win; if wrong, they are out and the remaining players bid to see who makes the next accusation. What is fun ? Bluff The joy of hiding an important card, uncovering a bluff or springing a hidden trap Tension: The impending moment when enough information has been revealed that players are eyeing each other. Deduction: The triumph of a successful calculated guess or bid —description from the designer
