Social Deduction
A social deduction board game is a game where players try to figure out who is lying and who is telling the truth based on conversation, behavior, and limited information.
Typically:
- Players get secret roles (often split into a “good” team vs a “bad” team).
- The “bad” players try to blend in and mislead others.
- The “good” players share clues, ask questions, and vote to identify the impostors.
- Rounds include discussion, accusation, alliances, and usually a vote or elimination.
The fun comes from reading people, bluffing, and building (or breaking) trust—more than from complex rules or strategy.
