==Overview==
''Breadcrumbs'' is a clue-giving game where the '''Cluegiver''' describes a '''Secret Phrase''', but doesn't want everyone to guess it right.

==Gameplay==
# The '''Cluegiver''' gets a '''Secret Phrase''' to describe and a target number showing exactly how many '''Guessers''' they need to get it right in order to score.
# The '''Cluegiver''' gives up to 5 clues, one at a time.
# Each '''Guesser''' gets one guess, which they can make after any of the five clues.
# Correct '''Guessers''' score more for guessing sooner than the other players.
# Keep giving clues until every '''Guesser''' has guessed. Anyone still waiting after the fifth clue must guess then.

==Clue Rules==
Clues can be almost anything: words, names, phrases, descriptions, or personal references.

Each clue must be truthful and add new information about the '''Secret Phrase'''.

Clues cannot:
* Be false
* Repeat an earlier clue
* Be so vague that they give no real information, such as "it's a thing"
* Be a broad negative, such as "it's not a shoe"

==Scoring==
'''Cluegiver:'''
* Exactly the required number of '''Guessers''' got it right: 3 points
* Too few or too many '''Guessers''' got it right: 0 points
* No '''Guessers''' got it right: -1 point

''Scores can go below zero on BGA. In the box version you can't lose a token you don't have, which means an early '''Cluegiver''' with no points yet can never be penalised, while a later one can. Allowing negative scores applies the penalty equally, whatever the turn order.''

'''Guessers:'''
* First correct guess: 3 points
* Second correct guess: 2 points
* Other correct guesses: 1 point
* Wrong guess: 0 points

==End of Game==
Each player takes one turn as '''Cluegiver''', except in a 3-player game where each player takes two turns as '''Cluegiver'''.

After the final round, the player with the most points wins.

''This differs from the box version, which is played to 10 points. Here the game lasts a fixed number of rounds so that everyone gets a turn as '''Cluegiver'''.''
