Wise Guys (2001)

Wise Guys is a Dutch game published by Identity Games for "Spits", a newspaper.

The game comes with:
- a rather small game board (14x14 cm/5.5x5.5 inch)
- four pawns (blue, green, red, yellow)
- four "eens/oneens kaarten" (yes/no-cards)
- fifty-one question cards
- a four-page rulebook

The aim of the game is to be the first player to reach the finish line. All players start at the same starting point.

Each game round, one of the players takes a card and reads out loud one of the questions (yes-no type) on it. Each player then answers the question with yes or no, by putting his yes/no card in front of him/her (hidden for the other players).
The card reader then reads out loud the correct answer, which is printed on the back of the question card. One by one, each player announces whether he/she answered correctly or not. If the answer was correct, the player may move his pawn one step towards the finish line.

A player may lie about his answer. The card reader however has the right to check whether a player is sincere by asking to show his/her answer. If a player lied, his pawn has to move back two spaces. If the player was sincere, the card reader has to move his pawn one space backwards.

The first player to reach the finish line wins the game. If two or more players reach the finish line at the same time, it's a draw.
