Impostor Syndrome is a hilarious game of bluffing, blending in, and BS! Each round, players will have to pick a person and modifier card from their hand to compete in a randomly selected challenge. The twist? One of you is an Impostor, who doesn't know the challenge when they pick their competitor! The challenge is revealed once everyone has selected their cards, and now everyone must present their argument for why their competitor is the perfect candidate for this challenge. Keep a careful eye on your opponents! You'll only score points for correctly identifying the sneaky Impostor. And if you're the Impostor…? Don't let anyone know that you know nothing! -description from the publisher
