How to play Interception?

Game Setup

  • The game is played exclusively with 4 players, divided into two teams of two: on one side, the "corrupt politicians," and on the other, the "investigative journalists."
  • Each player receives 5 cards, each with two possible sides: "money" or "document."
  • Before the start of the round, teammates agree on a secret code to indicate how they will orient their cards (money or document).

Gameplay outline

  • In turn, the 4 players simultaneously play a face-up card according to the secret code agreed upon with their partner.
  • If the "journalists" believe they have guessed the corrupt team's code, they can shout "Interception!" and then attempt to guess the code.
  • If their guess is correct, the journalists immediately win the game. Otherwise, they lose a card from their hand.
  • After the cards for the round are revealed, players whose intentions were not intercepted retrieve their cards; the others lose them. The game continues until one of the players runs out of cards.

Win/Loss Condition

  • A team wins instantly if the journalists correctly intercept and reveal the code.
  • Otherwise, the team that makes one of its opponents lose all their cards wins the game.

Our Tips for Winning

  • Remember the code, communicate clearly

    A poorly memorized or unclear code is a guaranteed defeat. Before you start, make sure that you and your teammate have perfectly understood and remembered the agreed-upon signals.

  • Watch out for adverse behaviors to detect a bluff

    The game relies heavily on observation. If your opponents hesitate or frequently change cards, this could indicate an attempted bribe or a code to be intercepted. Pay attention to their hesitations, reactions, or strange patterns.

  • Use the "Interception!" at the right time

    Do not intercept from the start, as you risk revealing your strategy too early. Wait until a suspicious behavior is repeated or a change in posture indicates an inconsistency to maximize your chances of correctly guessing the code.
