Impostor Syndrome

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/421330/impostor-syndrome

this card game was played at gencon.

All players get a grid card that they'll use to know what sort of person they're going to describe, like 'world's worst chef' or 'can fly through space'

they get cards for character names and then an augment for that.

like Kermit The Frog....with Telekinesis.

Now at this point the game would be apples to apples, where the players decide who doesn't really fit the theme.

This is where the impostor comes in. One player didn't get a grid card, they got an impostor card that does not give them the information they need to know what role they're going to make an argument for.

if the topic was 'best celebrity chef', and you as the impostor don't know that, and put down 'darth vader in a suit of armor' you need to justify why yours is the right choice. As the impostor, you have to BS on the spot to survive.

All in all, a fun simple game

Players are debating challenges, with one trying to fake their way through it all!
