Liar Liar Board Game
LIAR LIAR
Who lies wins.
"Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a person of some sense to know how to lie well". Samuel Butler (1835-1902).
And lying well is the key to winning because LIAR LIAR is the trivia game with a twist. You can lie. In fact, you have to lie to win the game. You can lie about knowing the answers, you can make up the answers, you can lie to your opponents with false facts and you can lie about the roll of the dice. Just don't get caught or falsely accuse an opponent of lying, otherwise it is back to the start.
It is more than an ordinary trivia game because Liar Liar combines a little general knowledge with tactics, luck, bluffing and an ability to make up lies on the spot. Not only is it fun to try to out-lie, out bluff and out-fox family and friends, you will be continually amused by the quirky questions, unbelievable truths and totally believable lies.
For 2 to 6 players aged 12 and upwards, a game lasts about 90 minutes.

GETTING STARTED
The aim is to be the first player in possession of a Lie Card to reach the final Liar Liar level. Lie Cards are won by successfully telling lies to your opponents.
Land on a pink topped square and simply answer the question correctly to continue your go. An incorrect answer ends your go. Alternatively, you can simply claim to know the answer and wait to see if the questioner dares challenge you.
Incorrect challenges result in the challenger going back to the start of the level they are on and correct challenges result in you going back.
The question you are asked corresponds to dice roll you have just thrown.
On a Multiple Choice question, you are offered three possible answers - the correct one (continue your go), a wrong one (end of your go) and a lie made up by the questioner (end of your go and questioner wins a Lie Card).
On a Truth or Lie Square, the questioner reads out one of the two statements that appear on the card. You must decide whether to challenge the veracity of that statement.
The 'L' symbol that appears on the square indicates that it is the person to your left that asks the question; the 'R' symbol indicates it is the person to your right. A '?' symbol allows you to choose who asks you the question.
