Lie, Steal, Cheat

This is a hidden role game made for the Fitchburg State University Game Jam. You take two cards, which are your roles, and win by trying to satisfy one of your two characters win conditions.

Rules!

• Every player takes two role cards. The rest go in the middle. This means that there should be two cards in the middle for four players, four for three players.
• Always take a coin to end your turn unless you perform an action that requires you to spend a coin. Performing that action will then be your turn.
• You can either ask a question or perform an action. 
• Questions must come from the question deck. All players besides the Crybaby must answer truthfully by saying AT LEAST yes or no. Their answers should be according to their characters. 
• While you cannot lie when answering a question, you can lie when taking actions. For example, even if you only have the gold digger and crybaby cards (two cards that cannot take an action), you could still attempt to steal from another player or pay a coin to see someone’s card.
• However, you can be called out for this. If you are lying, the person who called you out may take one of your cards. That card goes into a discard pile and NO ONE should see it, nor should it wind up in play again. If you are telling the truth, the person who called you out loses one of their cards instead. 
• ROLES:
• Assassin wins by killing anyone except for the crybaby for eight coins.
• Gossiper can look at one person’s card for one coin. 
• This card does not have a win condition. You must play to your other card.
• The Gold Digger wins by collecting ten coins. 
• Prank Youtuber can switch their cards or another person’s card for one in the middle. 
• This card does not have a win condition. You must play to your other card.
• The Crybaby wins by being arrested or killed by the assassin. They can also lie when asked a question.
• The Thief can steal two coins but must wait a turn in between each theft. 
• This card does not have a win condition. You must play to your other card.
• The Police wins by either arresting the assassin or naming all players innocent. If the police member is incorrect about either accusation, they lose.
• ACTIONS:
• The Assassin may kill someone for eight coins. 
• The Prank Youtuber can switch out one of their cards or someone else’s cards for a card  in the middle. 
• The Thief can steal two coins from someone. 
• The Police can either arrest someone or declare all innocent after paying six coins. 
• The police member can also fine the thief for three coins and return the coins to the middle. 
• The Gossiper can pay one coin to look at one card from another player’s hand.
