Fiction: Banned Books
A sequel featuring asymmetric player powers and words drawn from passages of books that have been banned, burned, or censored throughout history. One player, the Lie-brarian, selects a five-letter word while the other players try to deduce it. Each turn, they guess words and receive clues about their letters, but exactly one clue is always false. New powers for both sides can be used at pivotal moments as the Guessers race to solve the word before time runs out.
