Gather your comrades and embark upon a journey of subterfuge and mystery with Charlatan, a captivating card game for 2-8 players, where the line between truth and deception is ever so blurred! In Charlatan, the tides have turned, for now, the players assume the guises of humble townsfolk, whilst your favored or perpetual Game Master becomes the Charlatan, a virtuoso of falsehoods and trickery! Lacks't thou a Game Master? Choose thy most assertive and ambitious companion to occupy the Charlatan's exalted seat!

 Can thou outwit thy companions, or shall thou unmask the master of deception ensnared in their own web of lies? Test thy mettle in Charlatan: The Art of Deception!

In this exhilarating contest, the Charlatan must artfully navigate a series of encounters, whilst players wield Prompt Cards to confront their assertions. With a diverse array of Charlatan personas, each possessing distinct talents, players shall sit upon the precipice of suspense as they endeavor to discern the truth.

The innovative lie detection mechanic infuses a new dimension of strategy, as players must ascertain whether the Charlatan speaks the truth or weaves an intricate falsehood. Bluster, deduce, and outmaneuver thy comrades in a clash of intellect where only the most cunning shall triumph.

Charlatan is the perfect accompaniment for convivial evenings, festivities, and gatherings of kinship. The dynamic gameplay, melded with the elaborate tapestry of deceit and subterfuge, guarantees that no two matches shall ever be identical. With simple-to-learn rules and a duration of 30-120 minutes, Charlatan shall captivate and engross participants for many an hour.
