Elephant In The Room
Requirements
Description
RULES
There's an elephant in the room.. a ghost elephant!
Make your moves in secret from other players and don't talk about the elephant or you'll lose progress!
Each player has their pawn on a track. Everyone wants to prove that the ghost elephant favors them above the others.. but you don't actually believe in ghosts, so you're going to help things out, secretly!
Each day you can advance your pawn forward. If you are seen by another player interfering with the board, they get to move your pawn backward two spaces to avoid upsetting the ghost elephant.
If you ever talk about the game, another player who hears you can move your pawn backward two spaces.
You can only make one move per day!
First player's pawn to reach the end wins.
