Civilian
Your card shows the table's word. You don't know it's the majority's.
3–24 players · 10–15 minutes a round
Undercover
Most players share a word; the undercover players get a close relative of it, like Lighthouse and Windmill. Nobody knows which side they're on.

What each person is holding
Undercover
Your card shows a word that's almost the same. You don't know it's different.
Mr White
Your card says No word. Work it out from the clues and never let on.
A round
How it goes
- 01
The host deals. Everyone holds their card to see their word.
- 02
Go round the table. Each person describes their word in one word.
- 03
Vote someone out. Keep going until the civilians find every undercover player, or the undercover players outlast them.
- 04
If Mr White is voted out, they get one guess at the civilians' word to win.
