Lily: In Two-Faced, everyone gets two secret character cards and two coins. Lose both cards and you’re out. The last one with a card left wins!

Arnold: Your cards are on your phone. Hold one down to peek at it, and let go to hide it. Keep them secret!

Lily: On your turn, take a Wage of one coin, a Handout of two, or use a character’s move.

Arnold: The Tax Collector takes three coins. The Thief steals two. The Diplomat swaps cards with the deck. The Hitman pays three to make someone lose a card, and the Bodyguard blocks him.

Lily: Here’s the twist: you can claim any character, whether you have it or not!

Arnold: Think someone’s fibbing? Tap Call the bluff! If they were bluffing, they lose a card. If they really had it, you lose one instead.

Lily: Some moves can be blocked by claiming the right character, and a block can be called a bluff too!

Arnold: Lose a card, and you pick which one to turn face up. With seven coins you can do a Takedown on anyone, and at ten you have to.

Lily: Keep bluffing and keep your nerve. The last player with a card left wins Two-Faced!

How to play

  1. 1. Peek at your cards

    Hold a card on your phone to see it. Let go to hide it. Everyone starts with 2 cards and 2 coins.

  2. 2. Your turn: claim anything

    Take a Wage (+1) or a Handout (+2), or say you’re a character and use their power. You don’t need to have the card!

  3. 3. Call the bluff

    Think someone is fibbing? Tap Call the bluff! You have 8 seconds. Or tap Let it go.

  4. 4. The truth comes out

    They had it: you lose a card, and they swap theirs for a new one. They were bluffing: they lose a card and their move fails.

  5. 5. Block it

    Some moves can be blocked by claiming the right character, and a block can be called a bluff too.

  6. 6. Losing a card

    Pick which card to turn face up. Lose both and you’re out. With 7 coins, a Takedown makes anyone lose a card. With 10, you have to!

The characters (3 of each)

How to win

The last one with a card left wins (300 points for their team; 200 for second, 100 for third).

Lose both cards and you’re out. Watch the TV and see who’s bluffing!
