## Description
Get ready for a game of mystery and bluffing where your mission is to unmask the impostor! In L'Impostor, each round, a secret word is chosen, and everyone receives a card with that word – except for one lucky (or unlucky!) player who becomes the impostor. The challenge? Everyone knows the word, except the impostor, who needs to blend in and pretend they know it. Each player says a single word to prove they aren't the impostor and, hopefully, give a clue to others. But beware, a wrong word can give you away! Use your wit, your deduction skills, and, of course, a lot of nerve to convince everyone of your innocence or to identify who's lying. After everyone has spoken, a vote decides who gets kicked out. It's a fast-paced game, with 15-minute rounds that guarantee plenty of laughter and heated discussions. Perfect for livening up any party or gathering with friends, L'Impostor blends the fun of word games with the tension of uncovering a traitor. If you enjoy games that make you think and laugh at the same time, this one's for you! The simplicity of the rules allows everyone to jump into the game quickly, making it accessible for casual players and veterans looking for a light and fun experience.

## FAQ
