The Pretender is a family-friendly card game of subtle deception, bluffing and mini-charades. All players are given the same identity except for the Pretender, who knows a little, but not enough. Through a series of mini-charades, players must guess who among them who is the Pretender before the Pretender works out what on earth everyone else is miming. This amusing family-friendly game will make everyone smile as suspicions are aroused and accusations thrown.
