The Outsider

Everyone sees the same grid and the same dice. Almost everyone can decode them. One player cannot.

1. 

   Step 1

   Setup

   Place one 20-word grid face-up where everybody can see it. Deal one card face-down to every player. Almost everybody receives a code card. One player receives The Outsider card instead. Alternate between Code Set A and Code Set B between rounds.

   Step 2

   Roll and find

   Roll both dice where everyone can see them. Players with code cards use the left die for the row and the right die for the column. Find that coordinate on the grid. Now everyone with a code card knows the same secret word. The Outsider sees the dice and the grid but has no code card.

   Step 3

   Give one clue

   Going clockwise, every player says exactly one word. If you know the secret word, prove you know it without making the answer obvious. If you're The Outsider, listen to everyone before you, scan the 20 words on the grid and say something convincing enough to survive.

   Step 4

   Discuss and vote

   Once everybody has given a clue, talk about who sounds suspicious. On three, everyone points at the person they think is The Outsider. The player with the most votes is accused. A tied vote means The Outsider escapes.

   Step 5

   One last guess

   If the accused player is The Outsider, they reveal their card and get one final guess at the secret word. Guess correctly and they score 1 point. Guess incorrectly and they score nothing, while every player who voted for them scores 1 point. First to 5 points wins.
