ScandalOh! – Unravel the Scandal (Kickstarter)

ScandalOh! is a “Brilliant Deck System” deduction game about investigative journalism in which each playing presents a different scenario, and players have to bring a scandal to light.

WHAT is the scandal plot?
WHICH celebrity is behind it?
WHICH newspaper will make it public?

The heart of ScandalOh! is simple: Players have a hand of seven cards, and each card has a value (1 or 2 points, according to the amount of information that it provides) and several references (i.e., the subjects of the card information). During a turn, you ask for information about three different references in which you are interested. The rest of the players can offer you cards that contain the requested references, and you can trade for those cards by giving the offering players the same number of points they have offered via cards in your hand.

After each round ends, players can try to uncover the scandal. If the actual scandal is not revealed, players discard part of their hands and receive three new cards. The player or players who uncover the scandal first win.
