Frequently asked questions about Accusation Nation

Accusation Nation is a turn-based party game for iPhone and iPad. One device reveals prompts and rotates the judging role. The answers below match the visible rules and product information on this site.

How many devices do we need?

Only one compatible iPhone or iPad is needed. Players share the device as the judging role rotates. Keep the phone with passengers rather than a driver during a road trip.

How many people can play?

The free starting experience supports up to four players and 50 cards. Current options shown inside the app may support larger groups; check the app before planning for a specific number.

How does a round work?

One player judges, an accusation card is revealed, the other players make brief defenses or tell a relevant story, and the judge assigns the card to one person. Then the judging role rotates.

See the complete how-to-play guide.

How does scoring work?

In standard play, the judge assigns a negative point and the first player to reach the chosen negative target loses; the default is -7. Ice Breaker mode reverses the goal: players lobby for cards and work toward a positive target, which defaults to +7. The target can be changed in the app.

Can a player skip a card?

Yes. A group should let any player skip a prompt, decline a defense, or opt out without explanation. Move on immediately rather than asking the person to justify the choice.

What kinds of card concepts fit the game?

Everyday habits, harmless hypotheticals, and friendly group quirks fit best. Avoid sensitive traits, sexual content, threats, violence, harassment, health, trauma, finances, and real criminal allegations.

Read the general example concepts. They demonstrate tone and are not a complete or verbatim card list.

Is the judge’s ruling a real accusation?

No. It is a game decision based on a fictional or low-stakes prompt and the current round’s conversation. Do not repeat it as a factual claim about a player or use the game to settle a real dispute.

Does the website publish player reviews?

No individual player reviews are presented on this site. The homepage displays the aggregate U.S. Apple App Store rating with its rating count, source, and as-of date.
