How to use them

Jobs overlap more than most packs: a nurse, a dentist and a doctor share most clues. That overlap is what lets a good imposter bluff, so expect longer rounds.

To play with paper: write one word on every slip but one, write Imposter on the last, and deal them face down. Take turns giving a one-word clue, then vote on who has the odd slip.

To play on your phones: start a room and send the link. Everyone sees the secret word except the imposter, the app shows whose turn it is to give a clue, and the room votes. 3 to 12 players, free, with no app and no sign-up.
