About the game
Redactionary is a free, web-based, competitive party word game of redacting top secret messages into oblivion! Each turn, one player is the Encoder, who will have pre-written a description of a secret word, to help the Decoder guess what the word is. Everyone else is a Saboteur, who each submits a list of words they predict the Encoder used in their description. All words correctly predicted score points, and will be redacted from the description when it's revealed, making it harder for the Decoder to guess the word.
