Disclaimer: This is a free, non-profit fan-made game of the popular board game "Exposed".
Welcome to Exposed Online, a fan made version of the popular board game Exposed. In this game, you play as a pickpocket who has infiltrated a party disguised as a guest. Your objective is to swipe as many valuables as you can hold. Unlucky for you, other pickpockets have also made it into the party. You must employ the art of deception to avoid being caught as you pilfer from unsuspecting party guests. Of course, eliminating your competition by exposing them along way will make your job much easier.
Objective: Your goal is to either collect seven valuables or be the only pickpocket not exposed.
The game consists of a 4-by-4, 5-by-5, or 6-by-6 tile grid depending on the total number of players. Each spot in the grid represents a guest attending the party. Each guest starts with at least 1 valuable on them while guests at the corners have 2 valuables.
At the beginning of the game, players are assigned roles among those in the grid. The
identity of each player is hidden to the other players.
Each player takes turns performing 1 of 4 actions each turn: Move, Steal, Expose, or
Snitch.
(More on this later)
Also at the party are marked targets. Whenever a player steals from these targets the
ability of the target is activated giving the player an unique advantage. If any of the
targets have zero valuables they are immediately exposed and a new target is assigned.
Players are able to choose among 1 of 4 actions to take each turn: Move, Steal, Expose, or Snitch.
Move: If chosen, the player must take this action twice. Choose two guests that are directly adjacent to each other and swap their position.
Steal: Choose any guests surrounding your pickpocket and take 1 of their valuables. If you are unexposed then that valuable goes to your secret stash, otherwise, the valuable will be added to your exposed pickpocket. If the guest was a marked target, their ability is activated as well.
Expose: Choose any guest that is on the same row or column as your pickpocket and expose them. Exposed guests are marked with a red background. If the exposed guest is another player then half of their stash will be confiscated and the remaining will be added to their pickpocket.
Snitch: If you are unexposed and there exists another unexposed player you may "reveal" your identity to that player and gain the ability to expose any spot on the grid. Note: Revealing does not mean you are exposed.
