Someone's Y

Someone's Y

2023·Nick Federico, Adam Khoury

3 - 6 players
10 - 20 min

From BoardGameGeek

Take on the role of a vowel A, E, I, O, U, but Someone's Y. Work as a team to try and figure out who isn't the real vowel by giving one word clues on your turn. The player who is Y will need to blend in to try and not get caught. When you hear a word said that includes your vowel you may choose to take a token and use it later to pay for an ability or vote out Y. The player who is Y can take tokens after any word is said regardless of the vowels in it. At the end of the game, if Y has the most votes against them, they get one last chance to win by guessing everyone else's vowels correctly. So don't be too obvious as to which vowel you are, but also try to gain as much information from others as you can. -description from publisher
