📖 About This Game
Serpents is a tarot sized, secret identity, card game. Serpents puts a fresh spin on classic secret-identity games like Mafia and Werewolf. Play using our rules out of the box, or throw them out and use your own. Our team has taken measures to ensure this deck is flexible enough to play a range of unique hidden-identity games — known or as yet unwritten — and allows you to cater any existing version to your liking. Mix and match your favorite roles and start lying to your closest friends and family.
One player will serve as The Fortune Teller. Remaining players will either be Innocents, striving collectively for survival using logic and deduction, or Serpents, fork-tongued deceivers, eliminating travelers from the game using pretense and lies. Only the Fortune Teller knows the true identity of each player. He alone will attend the players on their journey, acting as both moderator and story-teller.
