Description
Ferret Out is a social deduction party game in which players try to uncover the lone weasel mingling among the ferrets. The unique feature of the game is that no one knows who they are — not even the lone weasel.
Everyone has a card with a hidden word. All players have the exact same word except one player (the weasel). To ferret out the weasel, every player provides a clue to their word. The goal is to read all the clues, and determine which player gave a clue that does not match the others.
Players earn points for correctly identifying the weasel — but weasels are clever critters, so all players must be careful when providing clues to their hidden word because if the weasel can deduce the ferrets' hidden word, the weasel will earn bonus points.

Quotes (from this video)
- Roll your meeple, build your city.
- Supreme D says that I love the uniqueness of rolling meeples rather than dice, as well as the sheer amount of build options to customize your perfect city.
- The game is also quite a looker with its plastic pieces in a variety of colors.
- And you do, you roll your meeple, and you get very angry at your meeple, because they don't roll well, because they're meeple. And they land They are like wider than regular meeple. It works It does really work very well, but you just go, "Oh, come on. Why aren't you Why aren't you working right?"
- And the game does have incredible, like, table presence, because you're building up these huge skyscrapers.
- Join other ambitious guild leaders in mining and developing the famous city of silver during its period of rapid economic growth and expansion in the 14th century.
- The game features a real-life supply and demand experience.
- Kenneth K says that I recently acquired Coimbra, this is a very interesting game with an analog device for controlling stock market prices.
- Luke P says that I replayed this fantastic economic game at AirCon and was blown away by how smoothly the game ran, particularly with new players to the game and with breaks for chitchat.
- Everyone just seems to be really enjoying this.
- Man, this is fun.
- I do think that the box cover does the game a disservice.
- Because the box cover is like it's black with a like a thing white like a coin some silver I guess on the front.
- It's one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen on the table.
- All the artwork and the dark and the the the buildings all brightly colored on the dark background and it's absolutely gorgeous.
- It really is so much more beautiful on the inside of the game than on the outside of the box.
- So it's one of those I'm going to have to learn eventually just because it's going to come up.
