Have you heard of Brigit, a New Zealand cat known for stealing drying underwear? Did you know that the most famous newspaper from Norway published the official death notice of Santa Claus? That CIA agents send each other messages with their shoelaces? Don't you worry — neither will your friends! In each round of Fake That!, the player in the role of "Gullible" will ask a wacky question. Each of the other players must answer either the crazy truth or...a big fat lie! Will the liars prove convincing enough? Will Gullible succeed in uncovering all of them without pointing out the right answer? —description from the publisher
