The Cookie

A hidden-role card game has players deduce their target while keeping their own identity concealed and score for correct attacks or defenses. Character cards reveal clues, so striking with a sword or shield too early can expose a mistaken read.

Read the full game description

The Cookie is a quick card game that will make you use your detective skills or just take risks. You will be secretly playing as one of the six extraordinary characters, trying to figure out who your target is and staying unexposed at the same time (because one of the players is after you! Pam-pam-paaaaaaam). Each player will have a target character who they'll need to attack and another character, who'll try to attack them. This is defined by the special reminder card. As the game proceeds, each participant will be playing character cards from their hand, giving opponents hints that help them to figure out who their character is. When the player makes up his mind, he can play a special Sword card to attack his target (the player who represents the character he hunts) or a special Shield card to protect himself from someone, who, as he thinks, might attack him. At the end of the round players score victory points for attacking or defending from the right character.
