Truths Too Terrible (2015)

About this game

Truths Too Terrible is a game of deduction in a monster noir world full of strange and unknowable mysteries. The players are investigators within that world, each attempting to understand the facts of a series of strange occurrences. These facts are made up of 6 different types of evidence, each of which could turn out to be pertinent, irrelevant, or unknowable. Each round, a set of facts is put aside, and the players must then attempt to deduce those facts (or, if necessary, make their best guess). At the end of each round, the player who can identify the most facts without getting any wrong will learn a Terrible Truth about the world. The first to learn 3 Terrible Truths wins the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
