Description

Based in the popular TV program, Soliti ignoti is the game of hidden identities in which players must guess the profession or the hobby of an unknown person. It is possible to play in competitive or cooperative mode.

In the competitive version each player takes turns in the role of host and secretly assigns the identities to 5 unknown people, choosing among the 8 available. The other players bet on the identity of the current unknown, also using the available clues.
Who guesses gains the value of the unknown, but if everyone has made a mistake, the host loses the value of the unknown. The host, therefore, must be careful to choose an identity that is neither too easy, otherwise all others earn money, not too difficult, not to lose them himself.
After having unveiled the identities of the 5 unknowns, the proof of the mysterious relative takes place: the host draws another unknown and chooses which of the 5 initial unknowns is his relative, also assigning clues to the degree of kinship and the 2 unknowns to be excluded. Who misses the mysterious relative loses 50.000 €: also in this case the host must be careful because if nobody guesses, he will lose 50.000 €. After everyone has played the role of the host, whoever has the most money is the winner.

In the cooperative version all the players collaborate to earn as much as possible. Contrary to the previous mode, the host must try to help the players as much as possible.
