Nobody at the table is safe.
One of you is The Thing. Others may already be infected. Read the room, lie convincingly and watch every card that changes hands — a mandatory exchange can spread the infection without anyone seeing what changed.
NECHTO is a social-deduction card game for 4–12 players that turns one shared screen and private phones into a tense table of accusations. The game handles the roles, hands, turns and rules. Your group handles the bluffing.
One shared screen. Every hand stays secret.
Run NECHTO on a PC or laptop and put it on the biggest screen in the room. Players scan the QR code and use their phones as private controllers: only you can see your role, cards and decisions. No phone app, account or registration is required.
Play together — in one room or across several
Same room: one Steam copy and one PC are enough. Every phone connects to that PC through the same Wi-Fi network.
Remote groups: each location needs its own Steam copy running on a PC. Join the same room with the 4-character code or a Steam invitation, then connect the phones at each location to their local PC.
Connection note: the QR/IP address is local to the host PC. A phone must be on the same Wi-Fi; a remote browser or 4G/5G connection cannot open that local address directly.
Every turn has three phases:
• DRAWS A CARD — take the top card from the deck. Drew a PANIC card? It plays immediately.
• PLAYS — play an action card or discard.
• EXCHANGES — mandatory. Pass a card to your neighbour. This is exactly how The Thing spreads infection.
Three types of cards
Actions — FLAMETHROWER, QUARANTINE, ANALYSIS, TEMPTATION, SHIP'S LOG and 9 more. Each one shifts the balance.
Defense — reaction to someone else's turn. NO THANKS, MISSED ME, FEAR, NO BARBECUE — play it before it's too late.
Panic — drawn instead of a regular card and plays immediately. Can't discard. Can't defend. CHAIN REACTION, OLD
ROPES, FORGETFULNESS — 12 cards of pure chaos.
