Allplay Fiction Banned Books Board Game | Cooperative Word Deduction & Bluffing Game | 2–10 Players, 20–30 Min Playtime Logic Puzzle Party Game

Step into a clever world of lies, logic, and literary twists with Fiction, the cooperative word-deduction party game where one clue is always misleading. Inspired by classic word games and modern deduction mechanics, Fiction challenges players to work together to uncover a secret five-letter word - but with a devious twist: the clue-giver must lie exactly once each round. This single lie forces the group to question every hint, double-check assumptions, and dig deeper into the puzzle. Each turn, the team submits a guess, and the Lieutenant evaluates it using a clue card drawn from iconic literature. It’s up to the players to debate which part of the clue is truthful and which is fabricated, using pattern recognition, deduction, and teamwork to eliminate possibilities. This blend of cooperative logic and social bluffing creates a uniquely tense and exciting experience where triumph feels earned. Perfect for 2–10 players, Fiction is incredibly flexible, scaling effortlessly from couples to large groups. Games typically last 20–30 minutes, making it the ideal warm-up, wind-down, or main event for game night. Fiction is accessible enough for new gamers while offering real depth for puzzle-lovers, families, and word-game fans. Inside the box, you’ll find premium components including double-layered boards, clue tiles, word lists, and hundreds of literary clue cards sourced from public-domain classics. With thousands of possible word combinations and endless ways to interpret clues, no two games feel the same. Whether you’re teaching new players, tackling advanced challenges, or swapping roles round after round, Fiction stays fresh, clever, and endlessly replayable. For game nights filled with laughter, deduction, spirited debate, and the thrill of uncovering the truth, Fiction delivers an experience that’s as satisfying as it is surprising.
