What it is

A 21-card micro-deduction game that still ships in a tiny bag. You hold one card, draw a second each turn, and try to be the last letter standing. The design is thin on purpose and that is the point.

What we love

  • Full round plays in under ten minutes
  • Price-to-fun ratio is hard to beat
  • Great filler between two heavier games on game night

Honest trade-offs

  • At two players the deduction space shrinks to almost nothing
  • A single Guard guess can end your round instantly, which some tables dislike
