## Description
Get your nose ready, because the final exam at the School for Sniffers is about to begin! In Toby, you step into the paws of a student trying to pass the most important exam of their life: matching specific scents to the correct characters. But there's a catch: you can't just shout the answer to your friends! It's a cooperative deduction game where the real challenge is trying to read your teammates' minds without saying a single word. 

The gameplay is fast-paced and incredibly intuitive. Each round, you receive a secret clue and must choose the 'cent' card you believe matches a specific character. The secret to success here isn't just pure logic, but your ability to understand how your teammates think. If you make a choice and no one else picks the same one, sorry, you've likely gone down the wrong path and the exam will be a disaster! But, if you are all 'on the same wavelength,' the feeling of sniffing out the perfect match alongside the group is incredibly rewarding. 

It's the perfect game to gather your friends around the table to laugh while trying to decipher what your buddy is communicating through looks and gestures. If you enjoy quick, themed games that test your mental connection with your friends, Toby will become your new favorite icebreaker for any gathering. Get ready to laugh at yourself and celebrate your team victories!
