Description
Cranky Chinchillas is a cute and mischievous game of secret alliances, betrayal, and destruction.
Players start the game secretly divided into teams with different objectives. Bluff, plot, team up, and backstab other players to survive while you figure out which side everybody is on. Then unleash destruction and sweet revenge on your enemies with the help of your fluffy, round heroes! But watch out – at least one of your “friends” could be The Deceiver, allowing them to betray everyone and claim solo victory!
The first person or team to achieve their victory condition wins the game!
