The Chameleon (CHM02RUS)
One player is faking it. In The Chameleon, everyone at the table gets the same secret word from a topic card, except one player: the Chameleon, who has no idea what it is.
Going around the table, each player says one word linked to the secret. Too obvious and the Chameleon catches on; too vague and you start to look suspicious yourself. Then everyone debates and votes on who the Chameleon is. Every round is different.
What's in the box
- 40 topic cards
- 16 code cards
- 2 dice
Saga Table Talk
Great for: Groups of 3 to 8 who enjoy a bit of bluffing and a good-natured argument.
What a game night feels like: Short, tense rounds. One word each, a lot of side-eye, then a burst of accusations when it's time to vote.
If you like this, try: Herd Mentality, Wavelength
Teaching tip: Play the first round with the cards face up so everyone sees how the code card and dice point to the secret word.
