M.I.M.I.C. is a cooperative party game for 3–6 Players, played in 30 minutes or less.
Players are bouncers at the hottest nightclub in the multiverse. Guests from every parallel universe are dying to get in. All are welcome... except for "mimics," which are shape-shifting gate-crashers who love spoiling the fun for everyone.
The game is played over the course of four rounds. Each round, one player takes on the role of the Operator.
During the first three rounds, the Operator gives clues using the board and markers to the other players so they can deduce which of the six revealed guests is a mimic. If they correctly identify the mimic and invite the five other guests, they win the round.
During the fourth and final round, a VIP arrives at the nightclub incognito. The players must deduce which of the six final guests is not a mimic (= the VIP) using a single clue and what they learned during previous rounds. If they correctly identify the VIP, they win!
