What's in the Expansion Game?
Six more heroes — Abraham, Sarah, Noah, Joseph, Daniel, and Deborah — plus the Hero Guidebook, a reference sheet with every hero's clue answers, and Clue Tracker notepads. You need the base game to play it.
How do you play Undercover Maccabees?
Everyone gets a secret Hero card. Spin the dreidel, move around the board, and earn Gelt by answering clues about your hero truthfully. Buy three items at the Store. Once you have all three, get back to HOME and say "I'm making my run!" Now you're allowed to lie. Every player asks you one question and gets one guess. If nobody names your hero, you win.
How many players and what ages?
4–6 players, ages 8 and up. A game takes about 30–45 minutes. Younger kids can team up with an adult, and it's a favorite for family game night, Hanukkah, and classrooms.
Do I need to know about Judaism to play?
No. Every clue you need is on the cards, and the guidebook tells each hero's story. You learn about the heroes of Judaism as you play — that's the whole point.

THE EXPANSION GAME
Twice the Heroes. Every Story Explained.
SIX MORE HEROESTwelve in the deck
Learn more
Abraham, Sarah, Noah, Joseph, Daniel, and Deborah join the original six. With six heroes, a sharp player can narrow you down in two questions. With twelve, the run gets real — and that's six more stories your kids will know by heart.
THE GUIDEBOOKLearn the story as you play
Learn more
A page for every hero — who they were, what they did, why it matters. Read your hero's page before your first HERO space, and when you answer a clue you know the story behind it, not just the yes or no on the card.
"Stood up to an enemy? Yes." — and now you know it was Pharaoh.
THE REFERENCE SHEETEvery hero, every answer
Learn more
All twelve heroes and their six clue answers on one sheet. When someone answers on their run, check it against every hero at once. It's how you catch a bluff — and how kids learn which hero did what without being told.
THE NOTEPADTrack who's who
Learn more
A Clue Tracker for every player. Write down every answer, cross off heroes that don't fit. You only get one Guess token per game — walk into the run with a filled-in tracker and it stops being a guess.
Requires the Undercover Maccabees base game.
