Farter Knows Best
屁者先知
Someone in the lift keeps farting. The passengers want to catch them; the farters play innocent and frame somebody else.
- 5–10 players
- about 45 min
- Learn it in a minute
- Bluffing
- Party
- Silly
The goal
Two teams, and you win by eliminating everyone on the other one. Passengers outnumber farters.
How it plays
- 1Everyone draws a secret identity card: passenger or farter. Each player has a health bar and 4 action cards.
- 2The lift passes 8 floors, one per round; 4 have a fart and 4 don't. The farters know in advance which floors are which.
- 3Each round, everyone first decides whether to play an action card face down, then the floor's fart card is revealed. No fart usually means nothing happens; a fart usually damages everybody. Most action cards only work when there is a fart.
- 4After a fart the table discusses and votes one player out. Only those who played an action card this round may speak, and everyone votes at once.
- 5A player who is voted out keeps their identity hidden and only says whether one team has now been wiped out.
How you win
When one team is entirely out, by vote or by passing out from the smell, the other team wins.
First time?
- No action card, no say. If you want to talk, you have to play one.
- Go through the action and character cards together before you start; follow the rules sheet in the box for their exact effects.
- Farters know which floors smell. Be suspicious of anyone whose cards land a little too perfectly.
