About the game
Spoilers: The Beginning is a party-trivia game with movie questions and bluffing mechanisms. The player taking the spoiler role (a different one each turn) makes a question about what happens in a particular movie and gives three possible answers (A, B, C). The Spoiler knows the right answer and earns points when the other players answer incorrectly. Thus, the Spoiler tries to mislead them (and everyone knows that). Everyone takes the role of Spoiler three times, then the player with the most points wins. Spoilers: The Beginning is a standalone game with new playing rules that can also be combined with Spoilers: The Game, whether played with the original or new rules. ••• Spoilers: The Beginning (El comienzo) es un juego independiente que añade nuevas reglas. Se puede jugar por sí solo o combinar con Spoilers: The Game y aplicar las reglas originales. Party Game con preguntas de cine y mecánicas de faroleo. El jugador que toma el rol de Spoiler (uno diferente en cada turno) hace una pregunta acerca de lo que sucede en una película en particular y da tres respuestas posibles (A, B, C). El jugador Spoiler sabe cuál la respuesta correcta, pero sólo ganará puntos cuando el resto de jugadores fallen y perderá puntos cuando acierten, por lo que tratará de despistarlos (y todo el mundo lo sabe). La partida dura tres rondas (cada jugador Spoiler hará 3 preguntas) y el jugador con más puntos al final, gana.
