Who it's for

Groups who love Werewolf-style scheming and want something faster and card-based, with everyone grinning at their own secret.

Not for you if…

You hate being the odd one out or take a bit of table-wide teasing personally, since the whole point is pinning it on someone.

About this game

Somebody at this table is about to take the fall, and it will not be you, obviously. A number gets rolled behind everyone's back to pick the actual scapegoat, but that poor soul is quietly told a different name. From there it is four locations, a handful of colored evidence, and a lot of very casual lying: spy on hands, trade cards, stash your tells, then reveal together and see whose color stands alone. Scape Goat turns a party table into a conspiracy where nearly everyone is in on the secret except the one person the secret is about.
