I have been looking into Buddhism and this is the question I found hard to answer.
I do understand that lying in Buddhism is breaking the 4th precept. I also know that in case lying is required in order to save someone's life for example is something that should be done(unless there is a way to bend the truth) but it still would break the 4th precept. But now I found one example I have no idea if it breaks the 4th percept. Let's say I am playing a game where you are supposed to spot the odd one out(someone that is playing against everyone else). That person has to lie in order to hide the fact that they are the odd one out. The reason why I do not know if this breaks the 4th precept is because all players are aware that one of them is lying. So does playing this game as the odd one out break the 4th precept?
