You are scientists tasked with creating THE CURE. The cure to what? Not important! Work together with your fellow scientists; however, rumor has it that a rival company has attempted to bribe someone to sabotage your efforts... Of course, it is just a rumor, right?
The Cure is a small hidden role game where you are working together to reach your goal. Players are dealt a hidden role and 12 numbered cards with the rest set to the side. Then, players will take turns adding 1 card face down to a center pile while declaring aloud the supposed total of the cards. If suspicion gets too high, a vote may be taken to use a microscope to check the last played card, but only the active player may look. Once players believe they are close to the goal, they may vote to stop. If the goal is reached, the good players win! If not, the bad player wins. There may be games with no bad player, so if the goal is not reached, all of the players lose!
Carefully selected truths and lies are the main strategy of this game, whether good or bad, a well made lie can guarantee victory. Just be careful not to be caught.
