6 suspects is a game of memory and logical deduction. A crime has been committed. Two hidden evidence cards are assigned to each one of the six suspects. Players look at evidence cards, one after the other, trying to be the first to find the culprit.

On a player’s turn, they take one of the 12 face-down evidence cards, look at it, and then place it back. Once every player has played at least four times, any player can announce that they think they know the culprit. All other players take one last turn looking at an evidence card. Then, all players simultaneously show, with their hand, which one of the six suspects they think is the culprit.

All evidence cards are then revealed. First, the effect of the swap card is applied, if possible. Then the total evidence is added up for every suspect. The suspect with the highest total evidence is the culprit, and every player who voted for them scores one point.

6 suspects est un jeu de mémoire et de déduction logique. Un crime a été commis. Deux cartes de preuves cachées sont attribuées à chacun des six suspects. Les joueurs examinent les cartes de preuves, l'une après l'autre, en essayant d'être les premiers à trouver le coupable.

À son tour de jeu, un joueur prend l'une des 12 cartes de preuve face cachée, la regarde, puis la remet en place. Une fois que tous les joueurs ont joué au moins quatre fois, n'importe quel joueur peut annoncer qu'il pense connaître le coupable. Tous les autres joueurs regardent une dernière fois une carte de preuve. Ensuite, tous les joueurs montrent simultanément, avec leur main, lequel des six suspects ils pensent être le coupable.

Toutes les cartes de preuves sont alors révélées. L'effet de la carte d'échange est d'abord appliqué, si possible. Ensuite, le total des preuves est additionné pour chaque suspect. Le suspect ayant le plus grand nombre de preuves est déclaré coupable et chaque joueur ayant voté pour lui marque un point.

In the first course, it was definitely in the soup. After that, it's not as clear. Perhaps in the Béarnaise sauce?

Regardles, two things are abundantly clear: someone is poisoning the guests at this party, and the wine that is being poured may be the last you ever taste.

In Vino Morte is a tiny little bluffing/deduction game.

In the game, the dealer will choose and distribute wine/poison cards and each player has an opportunity to keep theirs and drink it, or swap with another player. It's quick, fun and sneaky and works with a large group.

Government officials are plotting to undermine democracy! They need to exchange documents and money in secret, but a pair of investigative journalists are getting suspicious of their activities. Will the intrepid reporters be able to expose the corruption before it's too late?

Two corrupt politicians need to exchange messages and dirty money while two investigators try to intercept their actions and publish them in the international media.

Winner of Button Shy's 18 identical cards challenge, Interceptor is a game for 4 people in pairs that will sit facing your partner.

The cards have two sides: money or message. Players must place one of their 5 cards with one side forward and make a pre-arranged secret code for their partner to place the same side forward. Corruptors should try to avoid investigations by placing the opposite side that their opponents put, while investigators want to put on the same side as their opponents.

After 4 cards on the table, they are all revealed and losers lose their cards. Whoever runs out of cards loses the game.

But there is one more thing. If you discover your opponent's code, you can say "Interceptor!" and make a guess. If you're wrong, you lose a card, if you get it right, you win the game instantly.

It is a fast and very fun game, great for playing several games in a row.

Winner of Button Shy's 18 Card Challenge: Design a game with 18 identical cards.

The last shall be first...
Make sure to be the last!!!

The game is separated into two phases.

Phase one is a trick-taking game with simultaneous card selection. First we check for ties. The tie numbers are gone and then the highest card wins. Cards are 1 to 6. Four times per card.

If after the first check we have a 1 card and a 6, then the 1 card wins the trick.

So now all keep the winning trick cards and we are ready for phase 2.

Phase 2 is Russian roulette, a game of chance. We have 6 cards (bullet cards) in the middle of the table, as a revolver. 5 empty chambers and one with a bullet.

On your turn (beginning with the player with the most cards from phase one):
You can draw a card (pull the trigger) or you can discard one card from that you collect before, to shuffle all open bullet cards back together and then draw one, you just spin the cylinder of the revolver, (no point to do it if you have to draw the first bullet)
or you can discard as many cards as alive players in the game to pass your turn to the next player.

When you draw we check if you die or live from the bullet card.
If you stay alive the game continues to the next player. If you die we shuffle the bullet cards and continue with the player with most cards.

Last man standing is the winner.
