Cheese Thief (2020)

About this game

A fast-paced social deduction game for 4-8 players in a fantasy themed world. Play either as one of the normal sleepyheads dreaming about the taste of delicious cheese in tomorrow's meal OR as the thief trying to steal away the cheese for his own belly. As a thief clever enough, you might have to make a cut to your fellow minions so as to sneak away successfully. No moderator. No player elimination. No set pattern. Cheese Thief is different from other similar games in social deduction genre in that it uses die-face combinations in its core mechanism to provide countless replayable scenarios. One night phase to setup. One die-face to provide genuine information. One vote down to decide who gets the cheese in the end. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
