The Pretender (2018)

About this game

The Pretender is a family-friendly card game of subtle deception, bluffing and mini-charades. All players are given the same identity except for the Pretender, who knows a little, but not enough. Through a series of mini-charades, players must guess who among them who is the Pretender before the Pretender works out what on earth everyone else is miming. This amusing family-friendly game will make everyone smile as suspicions are aroused and accusations thrown.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
