Football (Soccer) questions
How do you play the football imposter game?
Everyone secretly sees the same word from the Football (Soccer) pack, except the imposter. Each player gives one clue, then the table votes on who the imposter is. The crew wins by voting out every imposter; if one survives the vote, the imposters win. If word steal is on, a caught imposter can still win by guessing the word in a pass-one-phone round; a room-code round always ends at the vote.
What words are in the Football (Soccer) pack?
49 words, from Penalty Shootout and Header to Goalkeeper and Yellow Card. This page shows 20 of them with what they mean; all 49 are in the free app.
Can you play the football imposter game online?
Yes. One player opens a room in Imposterly and the others join with its four-letter code, each on their own phone. Or pass one phone around the table, which works offline.
