Lapsus is a cooperative word card game. In every round, every player, except the interpreter, receives a secret theme card and 8 syllable cards. Then, they must use their syllable cards to form a word related with the secret theme card they have. After one minute, all theme cards used by players are shuffled, now it's time for the interpreter to draw one by one the theme cards and assign them to the players based on the concepts they formed, one card to one single player. Once the interpreter has finished, players should check how many cards the interpreter has assigned to the right player and score based on this. For next round, the player situated on the right of the interpreter in the next interpreter. There is also a competitive variant of the game. —description from the publisher
