Game explanation: Who is the Volleymol?

🎯 Objective of the game

The objective of the game is twofold:

• As a team, you try to win the set.
• As a player, you try to unmask the mole on the other team.

👥 Number of players

The game is played with two teams. You decide the number of players yourself (for example 5 vs 5). Each team has exactly one mole.

🧩 Requirements & preparation

For each team you need a stack of cards (downloaded after purchase) with:

• regular player cards;
• 1 mole card with an assignment.

All players blindly draw a card. Only the player with the mole card knows that he or she is the mole.

📌 Important agreements

• No one tells which card they have.
• You look for only the mole on the other team, not on your own team.
• The mole performs the assignment subtly (not doing everything badly, but just enough to make the team lose).

🌐 Role of the coach

The coach can use this game to train tactical awareness in a targeted way:

• Setters learn to deliberately look for the weakest blocker/passer on the opponent’s side.
• Servers learn to serve at the weakest passer.
• The coach keeps score and also joins in guessing who the moles are.

▶️ Flow of the game

1. Deal the cards: everyone draws a card, one mole per team.
2. Play a set: play to 25, 20, or 15 points (whatever fits your training).
3. Mole at work: the mole subtly carries out their assignment to make their own team lose.

📊 Scoring after the set

• Winning team: every player except the mole gets 1 point.
• Mole on the winning team: gets no point (the mole has “failed”).
• Losing team: only the mole gets 1 point.

🔍 Who is the mole? – guessing

1. Each player individually guesses who the mole is on the other team (no consultation).
2. A correct answer earns 1 extra point.
3. Then the moles reveal themselves.
