You Fool

You Fool

2017·Dr. Wictz

3 - 4 players
30 min

From BoardGameGeek

Circus Clowns pour out of their tiny clown car to form a small human pyramid - but one fool does not make it into the display, and is smacked in the face with a pie for the entertainment of all. Don't be that fool. You Fool is a 3-4 player bluffing/negotiation game about making a human pyramid of clowns and trying not to be the only player not in the pyramid. In this highly social game, players secretly look at a movement card and try to direct the active player on how to use that card. Sometimes players will cooperate to make the pyramid together and other times they will straight up lie to secure their position. Once the top three spaces of the pyramid are formed, the game ends. The player who is not on the pyramid loses the game and, naturally, gets a pie to the face.
