About the Game

Where can I buy the game?

The game is expected to be published in 2025.

How does this game differ from the other Comrade games?

Whereas Cheese Chase and Comrade are both social deduction games and share the "switching roles" mechanic, Cheese Chase is a simpler game with a friendlier theme, aimed at families. The roles of dissident, informer and comrade have been replaced by mouse, cat and cheese. The secret exchanges of the "word of freedom" has been replaced by an immediate revelation when a mouse finds a cheese and the objective has been changed from sharing the word with all players to finding all cheese cards. This makes the gameplay easier and smoother and thus more suitable to families.

About the Rules

How is the game best taught to others?

Explain the three roles of the game (mouse, cat and cheese) and how they differ in terms of objectives (the mouse wants to be played to cheeses and the cat to the mouse). Explain how the active player draws and returns a card and show by examples what happens in the different scenarios, using the icons on the cards.

What are the rules for table talk?

It's up to the players. The simultaneous actions of Comrade are more suited to table talk compared to Cheese Chase' turn order actions. If a player claims that she just exchanged the cat to another player, it may be boring if all the other players start avoiding the both. Then again, there may be competitive players who want to use this as a bluffing opportunity. Only remember that you may never physically reveal a card unless the rules allow you to do so.
