FictionはWorldeにインスパイアされた欺瞞のゲームです。一人のプレイヤーがLie-brarianとなり、古典文学作品から秘密の言葉を選びます。他のプレイヤーはチームとして論理を使い、できるだけ早く秘密の言葉を推理します。秘密の言葉を推理するために10回の推測と10分の時間帯が2回ありますが、Lie-brarianの手がかりには常にちょうど1つの嘘が含まれます。
I picked a word from Jane Eyre and my friends spent ten minutes arguing over the letter placement before anyone caught on that I was lying. The team deduction part is genuinely tense, and the literature angle makes it feel smarter than your average word game.
The Lie-brarian role is way more fun than I expected — picking a secret word from a classic novel and watching everyone argue over guesses is the whole game. We burned through a full hour without noticing, and the deduction aspect keeps it from feeling like just another word game.
Played this with four friends who all thought they were word-game experts, and watching them argue over whether the secret word was from Austen or Dickens was the best part of the night. The team deduction mechanic keeps everyone talking instead of staring at their phones.
