Overview

What ABG knows about this game

De Mol, a board game based on the Dutch television program "Wie is de Mol?", challenges players to form a secret word by working together — sort of. The game includes ten packs of cards, and for each game, players choose a pack that they haven't seen previously. A pack consists of eight question cards and 24 answer cards; each answer card has a letter on it. After finding the eight correct answers for the questions given, players assemble those eight letters into a single word — but one of the players is "de Mol", a player who wins if the others fail, so he tries to deceive the other players so that their word-forming efforts run aground.
