About the game
In the shadows of a galaxy on the brink, who will you really be? Across the stars, the iron-fisted Empire clings to order and tradition, but whispers of rebellion stir at its edges. Deep underground, the insurgent faction Morpho prepares its final daring strike: The X-Day. Yet in this web of deception, not all fighters share the same goal. Your true mission may be hidden even from yourself. M.O.R.P.H.O.is a compact social deduction card game where every player controls their own secret identities in a tense battle of loyalties, deception, and shifting goals. Set in a futuristic rebellion against an oppressive empire, players manage two hidden identity cards (or one in larger groups), each with its own win condition and hidden agenda. Players can choose to investigate others, reveal or change roles, and manipulate timing to fulfill their personal victory conditions. Special hidden roles like Outsiders and Aliens can be added for even more variety and intrigue. —description from the publisher
