Description

Congratulations! You have been chosen for an inter-planetary mission to colonize Pluto. You are one of eight astronauts from around the solar system who will take flight. Unfortunately, a spy has infiltrated your ranks… You must act as a detective and ask all other players questions to identify the spy before the flight lands. If not? The colony may collapse before it even has its first inhabitant…

Plutonauts is a turn based card game for 3-8 players. There is a standalone 2 player version. Players are dealt a unique and secret Role and Home Planet card. They deal one Truth and one Lies card to the players to their left and right, choosing who to give each card. Players then ask one question per round, for a total of as many rounds as players. If asked a question by the player to their left or right, they must answer according to what the card they gave that person says. They can use a one time special power that is unique to their Home Planet to help. At the end of the game, players take turns voting on their guess for the Role and Home Planet of each player. The winner is the player with the most correct guesses.
