Dilemmi

4–7 players · 45 min · 12+

Variant on the classical "Vocabulary game" made in collaboration with the Italian dictionary publisher Zanichelli.

The players take turns until a player reaches the end of the point track. At each player's turn, other players pick a single card from the deck. Each card report a "difficult" word, the correct definition and some incorrect definitions. According to secret roles, each player must:

 the "sage" must read the correct definition;
 the "charlatans" must read an uncorrect definition;
 the "great cyaltron" must totally invent a new definition on his own.

The current player must guess the sage and the great cyaltron. If he guess correctly, he scores points. Other players score if they are indicated as sage, if the great cyaltron is not identified, etc.
