ScandalOh! is a "Brilliant Deck System" deduction game about investigative journalism in which each game has a different scenario and players must uncover a scandal.

The game challenges you to use real investigative skills to solve each case. To get the scoop, you'll need to keep an eye on the celebrities and their contacts, question the newspaper editors, search around town for clues, and consult your sources. You'll do all this while exchanging information with your opponents or hiding it from them, so prepare to use all your deductive skills!

The heart of ScandalOh! is simple: players have a hand of seven cards and each card has a value (1 or 2 points, depending on the amount of information it provides) and different references (i.e. the subjects of the card information). During a turn you ask for information about three different references you are interested in. The rest of the players can offer you cards containing the requested references, and you can trade those cards by giving the players the same number of points as they offered via cards in your hand.

After each round ends, players can try to uncover the scandal. If the actual scandal is not revealed, players discard part of their hands and receive three new cards. The player or players who discover the scandal first win.
