BUSINESSMAN
Take 4 coins straight from the central bank. This ability cannot be blocked by standard defenses.
In a world where information is currency and trust is a weapon, you are an operative holding secret identity cards. Claim roles you don't have. Fake abilities. Call out your friends' lies before they eliminate you.
Every round, operatives hold secret role cards. You can claim any ability at any time. Will your rivals let you get away with it, or call your bluff?
Take 4 coins straight from the central bank. This ability cannot be blocked by standard defenses.
Taxes all wealthy players with 7+ coins (takes 1 from each). Can also block Support actions (+2) from the bank.
Pay 3 coins to launch an assassination against any operative. Target must permanently discard one alive identity card.
Pay 4 coins to interrogate a rival and guess their role. If you guess right, they lose a card. Guess wrong, they take your coins!
Secretly peek at one of a target's cards. You may choose to swap it with one of yours to steal their best weapon.
Discard all your active cards into the deck and draw completely fresh identities. Resets your profile when cornered.
Steal up to 2 coins from any operative. Only another claimed Thief can counter and stop the robbery.
Every player starts with 3 hidden cards. If you lose all 3 cards to challenges or assassinations, you are eliminated!
Authentic screenshots straight from the Android build: tactile noir boards, secret card reveals, rapid-fire challenge countdowns, and pass-and-play party setup.
Intuitive board showing coin banks, alive operative status, current turn actions, and active protocol counters.
Peek at your 3 role cards discreetly before passing the device to the next player. Keep your poker face solid.
Pick from all 7 roles during your turn. The system won't verify your hand—only your friends can call you out!
When an operative claims an ability, anyone can slam the "LIAR!" button. Wrong challenges result in losing a card.
Gather 2 to 8 friends around a single phone or tablet. No cards, tokens, or Wi-Fi required—just deception.
Instant in-game access to character abilities, costs, counters, and advanced protocols so new operatives learn in 2 minutes.
Master the rules of deceit. Learn how every round unfolds from dealing to final elimination.
2 to 8 operatives gather around one phone. Everyone secretly checks their 3 dealt role cards. Coins are pooled in the bank.
On your turn, choose: take Income (+1), Support (+2), claim a role's ability (like Taxman or Assassin), or launch a strike.
You can claim any role even if you don't hold it. The challenge countdown starts: rivals can call "LIAR!" or let your claim pass.
If caught lying, you discard an alive card. If the challenger was wrong, THEY lose a card. Be the last operative alive to win!
Beyond standard character claims, operatives can execute these game-changing financial and defensive actions:
| ACTION | COIN COST | EFFECT | COUNTER / DEFENSE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income | Free | Take 1 safe coin from the bank. Cannot be blocked or challenged. | None (Unstoppable) |
| Support | Free | Take 2 coins from the bank. High risk, high reward. | Taxman can claim to BLOCK Support |
| 7-Kill Strike | 7 Coins | Force any chosen opponent to immediately lose one alive card. | Can be countered by paying 9 coins |
| Nine Shield | 9 Coins | Purchase permanent tactical armor that absorbs one incoming elimination strike. | None (Absorbs hit) |
| Challenge (Call "LIAR!") | Free | Trigger a card check. Caught liar loses 1 card; false accuser loses 1 card. | Show true card to punish accuser |
Free to play. No pay-to-win mechanics. Pure psychological warfare and tactical deduction.
