Soupçons

Soupçons: Who to believe, and for how long?

Work together to bring about dawn by flipping all the cards face up in the center of the table. But be careful! Snakes lurk among you, willing to do anything to keep the darkness alive.

Soupçons is a game of bluffing and atmosphere in which hidden roles change during the game! Lie and negotiate to give your cards to other players and move from Night to Day. Watch out for the Snakes hiding among you and switch sides at the right moment to win the game.

How to play Soupçons?

Your objective differs depending on whether or not you have a Snake card in your hand. If you do, your goal is to remove the Day cards from the center of the table until only one Night card remains. If you don’t have a Snake card in your hand, you win if only Day cards remain in play.

On your turn, offer a card from your hand face down to another player. Announce the card’s value or whether it is a Snake card. You may lie. The player in question may choose to accept the card or refuse it. It is possible to refuse up to 2 cards, which will return to their owner’s hand, but the 3rd card offered must be accepted.

When you accept a card, its actual value determines the effect. If the value is 1 through 6, flip the corresponding card in the center of the table from its Night side to its Day side. If it was already on its Day side, remove it from the game. If it has already been removed from the game, or if it is a zero or Snake card, say, “Nothing happens! "

Continue playing rounds until one of the two victory conditions is met: when this happens, determine whether the Snakes have won or been defeated!
