Liar's Clue is played using six number and six court cards from a standard deck and a reference sheet for each player. Six hands each consisting of one number and one court card are dealt: one to each player, one face-down on the table, and one face-up on the table. The object of the game is to deduce the cards in the face-down table hand. On a turn a player asks an opponent any question about their hand that they want, as long as it can be answered with "yes" or "no." However, the player being questioned does not necessarily tell the truth - the reference sheet tells them whether to tell the truth or to lie, based on which number card they have and which player is asking the question.
