The lie. DEVIR

In The Lie, all the cards lie! The cards are numbered from 1 to 4 and come in 4 different colors. However, when you flip them, something has changed, either their color or their number. You must play cleverly to combine the highest numbers of the same color. Whoever runs out of cards first wins the current round, and at the end, the player with the most points wins the game. Designed by Eloi Pujades and Eugeni Castaño, The Lie is a card game that can be played in pairs or in groups of up to 6 players, from 8 years old, with sessions lasting around 20 minutes. The goal of the game is to score the most points over 3 rounds in which players try to get rid of the cards in their hand by forming numerical combinations. If learning the rules seems tedious… you won’t struggle with this game! Each round consists of two phases: building your hand and playing your cards. In the first phase, everyone plays at the same time, taking cards from the center of the table to form a hand of 12 cards. However, you can never be sure which card you are taking, since the back of the cards lies: either the color or the number will be different when you flip it over. The cards in your hand must be placed in the order you take them, and cannot be rearranged at any time. In the play phase, players can play a combination of cards from their hand. This combination can be a single card or a group of 2 or 3 cards of the same color that are adjacent in their hand. The next player can pass (i.e., play nothing) or play a combination of cards of the same color as the set played by the player who started the round, forming a number that exceeds the previous one. Turns continue until someone runs out of cards. Thanks to its replayability, The Lie is ideal for any type of player or group. Younger players will learn to form numerical combinations, while older players will find a great challenge in managing their cards to empty their hand quickly. All of this is spiced with an element of luck, thanks to the “lying back” of the cards. Are you ready to play with numbers?
