BELIEVE

Rulebook

Game Components:

• 80 Cards

• 60 Score Points

• 6 Believe Coins

• 1 Hourglass

Game Setup:

The first storyteller is chosen at random.

The game runs clockwise.

1. Select Cards: Each storyteller draws between 1 and 3 cards from the deck. These cards are kept secret and are not shown to other players initially.

2. Prepare to Tell Your Story:

   • Study your cards for a brief moment (under 1 minute).

   • Place your coin on either Truth or Lie to indicate the nature of your story.

   • Start the 3-minute timer (flip the hourglass) and tell your story based on the chosen cards.

Story Judgement Phase:

1. Ask a Question: After the story is told, the other players may ask one question together to the storyteller.

2. Individual Judgement:

   • Each player, starting from the one to the storyteller’s left, makes an individual judgement with their own coin (either Truth or Lie) about the storyteller’s claim.

Scoring:

• Gain points for each disparity between your coin choice (Truth or Lie) and the guesses of the other players.

• Points gained are equal to the number of cards chosen (e.g., if you chose 2 cards and your story was doubted by 2 players although it was true, you gain 4 points).

Winning the Game:

• The game ends when a player reaches the point goal:

  • 2 Players: 10 points

  • 3 Players: 15 points

  • 4-6 Players: 20 points

• After the first player wins, the game can continue to determine placements.

  • Additional Rules for Continuing:

    • Players who have already won may each ask one additional question to the storyteller during judgement.

    • Players who do not wish to tell stories (or if the player count is full) may join as questioners from the beginning.
