The CopyCat is a word-based, hidden-identity psychology card game. Players secretly assigned the CopyCat role must pretend they know the word or phrase that everyone else carefully describes based on hints and descriptions, while the other players try to identify and eliminate the CopyCats!
At the beginning of the game, players are assigned the roles of Human or CopyCat randomly without knowing each other's identity (minority CopyCat). A Topic Card will be randomly selected for each game. The Topic Card consists of a Topic and Hints. The Humans will be able to see the Topic while the CopyCats will only be able to see the Hints. After everyone have seen the Topic or Hints, players will take turns describing the Topic (or what CopyCats think may be close to the Topic) using a word or phrase. The Humans will have to give good descriptions to prove their allegiance, but vague enough as to not give CopyCats too much information. The CopyCats will have to give clever descriptions by combining the Hints with what they've heard in order to blend in with the Humans and prevent their elimination.
The Humans must eliminate the CopyCats before 2 rounds to win, or else the CopyCats win!
Things can get pretty heated, and there is limitless potential for creativity in how to strategize.
