Something got on board.
Nobody knows who's infected. Nobody trusts anyone. Every card exchange could be your last.
NECHTO is a local party game for 4–12 players in the spirit of Mafia and Among Us. One laptop on a shared screen,
players use their phones as controllers. No installs — just a browser and Wi-Fi.

How it works
One player launches the game on a laptop or TV. Everyone else joins from their phones via browser using a QR code or
IP address. No registration needed.
Every turn has three phases:
• DRAWS A CARD — take the top card from the deck. Drew a PANIC card? It plays immediately.
• PLAYS — play an action card or discard.
• EXCHANGES — mandatory. Pass a card to your neighbour. This is exactly how The Thing spreads infection.

Three types of cards
Actions — FLAMETHROWER, QUARANTINE, ANALYSIS, TEMPTATION, SHIP'S LOG and 9 more. Each one shifts the balance.
Defense — reaction to someone else's turn. NO THANKS, MISSED ME, FEAR, NO BARBECUE — play it before it's too late.
Panic — drawn instead of a regular card and plays immediately. Can't discard. Can't defend. CHAIN REACTION, OLD
ROPES, FORGETFULNESS — 12 cards of pure chaos.
