Expansion of 55 double-sided cards (i.e., 110 new cards to guess) introducing new themes, including cooking, to add to your base game. Try to make people guess your classified document by crossing out superfluous lines directly on your card. Read what's left out loud, but be careful to leave enough information for your teammates to guess! To do this, you will first have to cross out as many lines as possible directly on the card because each piece of information left visible generates suspicion about your group and too much suspicion will cause you to lose the game. Read your text out loud, and hope your team understands the message. Novice or advanced mode, in cooperation or in teams, adjust the difficulty as you wish for games that are always just as interesting regardless of the number of players or the gaming habits of the participants around the table.
