RULES:

The object of the game is to be the first player to correctly guess your own identity. Setup. Shuffle deck #2 and arrange them in the center of the table so 12 cards are faceup and 12 cards are facedown. Shuffle Identity deck #1 and place it face down on the table. Shuffle the behavior deck and place it face down on the table. Each player draws 1 card from Identity deck #1 and, without looking at it, places it into a stand in front of themselves so the card faces away, towards the other players.

The player who last got a bad haircut goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn, ask 1 yes or no question that will help you figure out which identity card on the table matches the card in front of you. The other players may only answer with a “yes” or “no”. If you receive a “yes”, flip over 2 of the cards on the table so they are faceup. If you receive a “no”, you must draw one behavior card and place it in a card holder in front of you. You must now follow the instruction on the card for the remainder of the game. You may have multiple behavior cards in front of you. If a new behavior card cannot be performed because it conflicts with another behavior card you already have, place that behavior card back in the deck and draw a new one.

If someone forgets to abide by their behavior cards, and are caught, they must draw an additional behavior card and add it to their lineup. When you think you know which identity card is in front of you, you may ask specifically about it. For example, “Am I the bow hunter?” If you are incorrect, draw a behavior card. If you are correct, you win the game.
