In Crooked Kingdom, you are one out of six different characters trying to get ahead in a kingdom where everybody lies. But in order to advance and beat your friends you must use trickery and deceit to convince them that you are something else so that you can gain all the riches and win the game! You can not let everyone get away with lying right to your face. During the game, you will have a chance to judge the other players when you become the Judge. You will have the power to challenge their claims and reap the sweet, sweet reward as they curl up in shame and the other players marvel at your ability to spot the lies (unless, of course, you are wrong and have to pay the penalty). The first person to get enough points will win the game, it's up to you how to play. Will you be honest and take it slow and let the others be caught by the Judge or will you keep up the poker face while you lie through your teeth? Do you have what it takes to spot the liars of the group or will you be stuck paying coin after coin when you challenge someone who told the truth? —description from the designer
