- 48 Secret Mask Cards
- 16 Monster Tiles
Goal
Collect more Secret Masks than the other players.
Setup
- Place the 16 Monster Tiles face up in the middle of the table so they are visible and within reach of all players.
- Create a deck of Secret Masks by randomly taking 6 Secret Mask Cards for each player. Shuffle and place them face down on the table. Any remaining cards are returned to the box and will not be used this time. (Example 1: With 4 players, the Secret Masks Deck contains 24 cards. (6 cards x 4 players))
- The oldest player will be the first Mime, acting out the secret mask.
Game Turn
The Mime draws the top Secret Mask Card without showing it to others. After looking at it, the Mime tries to act out the expression of the face on the card without making any sounds. (Example 2: mimic the face shown)
The other players act simultaneously, trying to figure out which face the Mime is imitating and slapping a hand onto the corresponding Monster Tile. (Example 3: guess which Monster is imitating)
Note: You can choose only one Monster Tile, and once you put your hand on a Monster Tile, you cannot change your mind! If more than one player puts his hand on the same Monster Tile, only the first player to put their hand on the tile gets that tile.
When each player has made his choice, the Mime reveals the Secret Mask Card.
If a player guessed correctly:
- The player with the right guess draws a Secret Mask card from the deck, looks at it, and places it face down in front of him.
- The Mime places his Secret Mask card face down in front of him. (Example 4: get a card -- 1 to the Mime, 1 to the player guessing right)
If NO player has guessed correctly:
- No prize is awarded. The Mime draws another Secret Mask Card from the deck but does not look at it. Both Secret Mask Cards in the Mime's hand are removed from the game. (Example 5: remove 2 cards -- remove 1 from the game, remove 1 from the game)
The turn ends and the player to the left of the Mime becomes the Mime for the new turn.
Game End - The Winner
The game ends when there are no more cards left in the Secret Masks deck. Each player counts the Secret Masks they collected. The player who has the most is the winner. In case of a tie, the victory is shared. (Example 6: the player "A" is the winner -- player A 6 VP, player B 1 VP, player C 2 VP, player D 5 VP)
Variant: Making Sounds
If you want to make sounds, you may agree to use sounds but not words. For example, it would be acceptable to make sounds like "Grrrrr!" or "Muuuuaaa!", but not one like "Reeedd!" to indicate the color red or "Vaaaaamp!" to indicate a vampire.
