《The Twelfth Deceivers》is a turn-based card game of psychological warfare. Only one winner emerges each round. Every card played by players is a gamble with death itself; win, and you survive another round; lose, and you're eliminated.
‌There are a total of 12 roles in the match. More precisely, people entering this room can wear 12 headsets; each headset represents a unique skill that a player can use to deceive others at the table.
‌Each player starts with 12 life points. When a player's life points reach zero, the collar around their neck explodes—you know the drill.‌ At the start of the game, each player is dealt 1 card (with values from 1 to 12). The point value of the card received becomes the player's total point count. All players cannot see each other's total points, except of course for some cheating players!
‌On your turn, you may choose to:‌
‌Draw:‌ Draw a card from the deck, costing 1 life point. The point value of the drawn card is added to your total points. Each player can draw at most 2 cards per turn.
‌Play:‌ Play a card from your hand and reveal it to everyone. After playing, you gain 1 skill point, which can be used to activate your zodiac-specific talent. Each player can play at most 1 card per turn.
‌Call:‌ On your turn, you may challenge any other player on the field, comparing your total points with theirs. The player with the lower point total loses 1 life point. Each player can initiate only one challenge per turn.
Cheating:‌ Use your exclusive talent to cheat. This will be key to your victory, as even a player with lower total points than others can gain an advantage through this action.
Suspect:‌ When you sense something is off at the table, you can accuse another player. If your opponent activated a talent on their previous turn, the accusation is successful, and they lose 2 life points. However, if your opponent did not cheat, the accuser loses 1 life point. So, proceed with caution—accusing is a double-edged sword.
So: you're not playing cards, you're betting your life! It's a life-or-death showdown.
Opponent cheating? Perfect—so can you!
In this treacherous game, your opponent's fingers hide hidden cards, a flicker of a tell in their eyes. Don't panic—you can learn their tricks too: sleight of hand, misdirection, setting traps. Trust is a fatal luxury; suspicion is the only survival skill.
Now step up, become the one who survives.
You don't need to master card theory, you just need—guts, precision, and ruthlessness.
