Who's the Spy

Who's the Spy is a social deduction word game played in a web browser on the Boardit site, for three to eight players. Everyone at the table shares one secret word except the spy, who is told only the category; the host can deal more than one spy. Players take turns giving clues that describe the word without saying it, typed on their own screens or spoken around a single shared phone. The table can call a vote after set laps of clues, accuses whoever sounded least convincing, and settles ties with a runoff. Everyone who votes for a spy scores a point, as does every spy who escapes; a lone spy then gets one guess at the word for another point. The player with the most points after the last round wins.
