In Indictment, players are politicians, trying to bury their scandals before the press digs up the dirt. Each turn, players play either scandal cards or cover-up cards. A player then chooses which scandal to reveal, hoping his or her opponents have a bigger scandal-in-the-making to occupy the press. The tension increases as players move toward the conclusion of the game. Just as there are no winners in the game of politics, there is no winner in Indictment. Instead, the last player left holding onto scandals is indicted and loses the game. Everyone else merely survives until the next round of scandals hits.
