About the Game
It’s 1854 and a mysterious epidemic is sweeping through London Town. Only you know the crucial detail: the contaminant is in the water. Work together with your team to find the source well and shut down the pump before it’s too late…
The Source is a cooperative deduction game for 4 to 8 based on real events. Unlike traditional card games, The Source gets you and friends moving and turns the entire room into your playspace. It works great as an icebreaker at events or parties, and is suitable for most ages and all gaming abilities.
Gameplay
There are 8 wells and one of them contains Cholera. Unfortunately, there's only one way to find out which wells are clean and which one is contaminated: drink the water. Every round players have 60 seconds to drink from four wells, or die from dehydration. After discussing with their teammates, players check their cards. If they drank from the tainted well, they immediately die. Communicate with your teammates, eliminate the clean wells, find the source, and win!
