What is A True Scotsman!
A True Scotsman! is a small card game that combines deduction with clever card-play that aims to create a fun and engaging gaming experience for two players in 5-15 minutes.
Throughout the game players must expose the Traitor in their enemy's ranks. As insults fly from either side of the battlefield, certain members of each clan are compelled to lift their kilts in contempt! However, will this act of defiance reveal a true Scotsman or uncover an Englishman - and the spy amidst their ranks...?
On their turn, players will play cards representing the troops and events on the battlefield, trying to expose the Traitor hidden in their enemy's ranks. However, other events represent the Traitor's ability to remain hidden – but as soon as his luck runs out, he is exposed as an Englishman and his clan’s claim to the throne is lost. This player’s opponent wins the game.
