The description reads: "Enter a realm of trust and treachery, where every player must navigate the shadows carefully. Among the participants, there are Traitors hidden amidst the group, ready to strike under the cover of darkness. If you both choose to reveal a Faithful card, you’ll split the collected gold coins from the pot thus far. If only you choose betrayal, you get everything. If you both choose Betrayal, everything in the shared hoard is lost! Then a new round begins with all players resurrected. Whoever has the most gold coins at the end of the final round is the winner! Final Thoughts
Playing with the traitor is actually optional, but highly encouraged. At the start of the game, each player is dealt a loyalty card. The card will secretly tell the player if they are the traitor or not. There are actually more cards than players, so you won’t even know if there IS a traitor. This leads to lots of suspicion, meta-gaming and social deduction. Did that player just sit and draw cards on his turn because he’s the traitor or did he really just have no actions to do. Is that player just bad at this game or actively working against us? Figuring out who the traitor is (or if there is even one) is a lot of fun. While you can play the game without a traitor, and it would certainly be easier to win, it’s way more fun with one. Days of Wonder produced an absolute gem with Shadows Over Camelot and it should be part of everyone’s gaming collection. Immerse yourself in the captivating world of "The Traitors" with this strategic family party game, based on the thrilling BBC TV series. Based on the hit reality competition, this game combines strategy and suspicion, offering a unique and engaging gameplay experience. Enter a realm of trust and treachery, where every player must navigate the shadows carefully.The aim of the faithfuls is to work out who is betraying them and ‘banish’ a suspect at the roundtable each evening. Spoiler ahead: it’s safe to say they aren’t very good at finding traitors. Naturally, the combined lure of money and the paranoia of traitors lurking among them leads to drama, crying, arguing and some unlikely touching moments between contestants (72-year-old Andrea is a fan favourite).
The traitors are the heart of The Resistance. While most of the players are trying to complete the mission, there are a few players who are secretly spies trying to disrupt that attempt. Every round begins with some discussion, after which the leader will decide who goes on the mission. Once on the mission, the players chosen to go will secretly decide whether the mission passes or fails (based on the result of a secret vote). The spies will want to make sure the mission fails, without blowing their cover. Following the success of the smash hit BBC series, the new The Traitors Board Game will arrive in the UK & Ireland in September 2023. It would be hard to have a game called Betrayal at House on the Hill without a traitor. Yes, one of you will betray your fellow party members. But which one? At some point during the game (decided by an in game dice roll), the haunt begins. At that point, the players consult a chart to find out which scenario they will be playing and who the traitor is. The traitor has his own book that will explain his job and so do the rest of the players. There are over 50 missions that can come up, ensuring you shouldn’t see the same mission very often. The hit reality TV show The Traitors is now filming its second UK season - and if you can't wait you can recreate the drama at home with an official board game. Based on the hit reality competition, the game combines strategy and suspicion, offering a unique and engaging gameplay experience. In this dark dramatic family game, the question arises: Who are you willing to betray to claim victory? Trust becomes scarce as players work together to amass a hoard of golden treasure, but danger lurks at every turn. Gather your loved ones and embark on this strategic adventure, where alliances are fragile and secrets abound. Will you emerge triumphant or fall prey to deceit? Trust no one and embrace the challenge in this captivating game.Those two get a couple more turns then if they are both still in the game, it’s time for the Traitor’s Dilemma to decide what they want to do next. Now, if you are one of the final two, you can pop your hoodie up and pretend to huddle in a stone turret a la the BBC. Or you can just take a Faithful and a Betrayal card and decide what you are in your heart; pure or devilish! In this dark dramatic family game, the question arises: Who are you willing to betray to claim victory? Trust becomes scarce as players work together to amass a hoard of golden treasure, but danger lurks at every turn. One of the players will be infected and known as the “host”. The host’s job is to try and infect the other players and stop them from destroying the hive. Each player has infection cards (only the host’s are real). When you enter a room with any other player, you have to swap one of your cards. If you encounter the host and he gives you an infection card (and you don’t have a counter card), you become one of the infected. If you are unsure of someone’s loyalty, you can also just blast them in the face with your gun instead of swapping cards. I suppose that becomes a viable option one the paranoia fully sets in. In other words, it’s the perfect recipe for a tense evening of double-crossing your family and friends around the kitchen table, with scenes likely to resemble this hilarious viral clip of a group of people playing The Traitors to pass time at a bus stop. The board game allows players to fully immerse themselves in The Traitors experience as they either use their wits to unmask the traitor, or remain undetected as the traitor whilst competing alongside Faithfuls to win the prize pot.
Although combat is normally not a great idea as they are quite potent. Your best bet is to make as little noise as possible and stay hidden. In Dead of Winter, players are members of one such colony. The living is harsh and they must work together toward their common mission objective, while also providing enough food and supplies, fending off outside threats, and resolving other negative events that may happen on the way.Social deduction is the name of the game here. Players have to use their gut, deduction and instinct to try and ferret out the traitors. This make the Resistance a great social game. It can accommodate up to 10 players is is incredible easy to play. A great choice if your group is looking for a more social game than traditional. I should note that The Resistance is clearly inspired by the very old game Werewolf, and is better game in my opinion (which is also why werewolf isn’t on this list).
