Read the full game description

OUTFOX the FOX is a party trivia game that gives the group all the real answers but hides one convincing fake among them. Each round, the Fox chooses a Top Five list, secretly invents an extra entry, and presents all six in random order. Everyone else has two minutes to debate the correct ranking and expose the bluff. Correct placements score for the team, while the Fox scores according to how highly the false answer was ranked. A personal confidence token adds a final decision by rewarding the answer each player believes is most certainly correct.
