About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a night of pure confusion and stolen cheese with Cheese Thief, a social deduction game that fits in your pocket and at your next party! In a very short time, between 10 to 15 minutes, 4 to 8 friends transform into hungry little mice in a fantasy world. The mission is clear: some are the sleepyheads, dreaming of tomorrow's feast, while one or more scoundrels are the thieves, with the sole objective of sabotaging the party and stealing all the cheese.
The twist here is that there's no annoying moderator, and nobody gets left out waiting. The fun is guaranteed because, unlike other games in the genre, Cheese Thief uses dice rolling in a clever way. Each dice face combination reveals crucial information, creating new scenarios with every game and keeping everyone on the edge of their seats. A quick phase to plan, one dice roll to uncover who's telling the truth, and a decisive vote to catch the culprit (or not!). It's pure adrenaline, bluffing, and guaranteed laughter, perfect for breaking the ice or extending game night with a dose of mystery and cheese cravings. Who will manage to fool the others, and who will be caught with their 'paw' in the cheese?
