About this board game

ARGH is a minimalist bluff-and-deduction game for 2–4 players, with a play time of 15 minutes. Join the animal revolt, find allies, and collect the components needed to build a bomb against human oppression.

You are part of a struggle led by Ratchet, a lab rat who escaped from the humans and now seeks vengeance. Your mission is not simple: some animals remain faithful to the humans, and they can stand in the way of the revolt.

Success in ARGH depends on reading the situation and choosing your words carefully. Use smart deductions to work out who may support the cause, then make careful propositions as you search for the allies and components required to complete your objective.

  • Bluff and deduction: Analyze the information available and make decisions based on what you believe.
  • Revolutionary objective: Find allies and the components needed to build a bomb.
  • Dangerous opposition: Avoid the humans and animals that remain loyal to them.

Every choice contributes to the wider animal liberation movement. Trust must be weighed against suspicion, while each proposition can help reveal who is truly committed to the cause and who remains aligned with the humans.

Designed as a compact experience, ARGH offers a focused contest of deception, deduction, and carefully chosen proposals. For players seeking a short game built around uncovering allies and pursuing a bold objective, this 2017 release turns the revolt against human exploitation into a sharp test of judgment.
