About the Game

La Rule: the game where everyone knows the rule... except you!

Picture a table full of players who seem to be following a mysterious logic. They answer your questions, carry out your instructions, and chat with one another... but something is off. An invisible rule seems to guide their every move.

Why does someone answer only in rhyming words? Why does everyone avoid making eye contact with you? Why do the players seem to be acting so absurdly?

In La Rule, one or two inspectors must uncover the secret rule that all the other players know and follow. To do this, they question participants, issue orders, observe behavior, and hunt for the slightest clue. But beware: those in the know stick to the rule at all times, making every interaction as funny as it is baffling.

Each round is unique thanks to 150 cards featuring varied challenges, turning the game into a hilarious investigation where logic mixes with bluffing, observation, and improvisation. Fits of laughter, wild deductions, and moments of genius are guaranteed!

With such a wide variety of cards, the inspector never knows quite where to look. Each round creates a different atmosphere, turning ordinary players into unwitting actors in a comedy they are all in on together. The result? Absurd behavior, bizarre situations, and laughter from the very first minute. Why will you love La Rule?

Quick games lasting 30 to 40 minutes. For 3 to 12 players. Suitable for ages 12 and up. Mechanics that are simple to grasp yet always full of surprises. Compact 10 × 10 cm format—easy to take anywhere. A game of observation, deduction, and communication. A fresh experience every time you play, thanks to 150 different cards. Thousands of unpredictable situations and guaranteed laughs.

Can you crack the secret before the timer runs out? Or will the knowers succeed in protecting their mysterious rule?

La Rule: observe, question, deduce... because the behavior of others is your only clue!

8 minutes. 3 attempts. One secret rule. Can you find the right one?
