Los Viajes del Capitán Foucault is a social deduction game in real time for 3 to 6 players about a group of alien philosophers from another dimension that travel in time to our past in order to "fix" us. Debate, philosophical pondering meet with a whimsical theme and ludicrous reasoning and roleplaying. Each player will have a philosopher and a Personal Agenda, but there will be ways in which everyone can lose, or win, or some, or two, or only one... No two games will be the same. The philosophers have advanced abilities both thematically and mechanically inspired by actual concepts by actual thinkers from history.
Los Viajes del Capitán Foucault supports 3–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it.
