Contraband*

One player acts as the customs agent, while the others are travelers declaring items truthfully or falsely, drawing cards from a pile of objects like wine or cameras. If the customs agent doubts a declaration, they can "search" the player's luggage, leading to potential penalties for false declarations or compensation for defamation if the declaration is correct. Other players can also act as informants, and a special briefcase card grants a player diplomatic immunity, allowing them to pass through customs without inspection or fees.
