Little Secret is the game where you have to uncover the intruder. Members of a secret organisation do meetings to verify the identity of the participants with the help of a secret word. Only the Disciples have the correct secret word. Among them are hiding Infiltrators and a Journalist. It's up to you to unmask them without being eliminated! Step 1: Each player has a card with secret words that will define their role during the game. Step 2: By turns, each player will give a clue to their secret word, the aim being to find out who has a different word to theirs (or who has none, in the case of the Journalist). Step 3: It's time for players to debate and vote to eliminate the Infiltrator or Journalist. You will need to form alliances with other players to unmask the intruder. Step 4: After a player is eliminated, the game continues until all intruders have been unmasked. Players who have not been eliminated earn points. Bonus: from 6 players upwards, it is possible to add "Powers" cards to liven up the game.
