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. 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.
Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. To compound that, halfway through the game, another round of loyalty cards are dealt out. So you might have been 100% sure that the player next to you was human, perhaps not anymore. You yourself might have been working hard to help the human, only to now realize your on the other team. This concept will seem quite familiar to any fans of the TV show. 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.Our family has really enjoyed watching BBC’s The Traitors these past few weeks, with much discussion centred on how the gameplay is very similar to certain deception board games we’ve played.
Bang! The Dice Game makes the list of the best hidden role board games because you never really know if a player is on the side of the law or an outlaw. This is a fun and fantastic franchise and the surprise makes it all the better. Bang! uses this idea so well that both the games (which are separate) make this list. A sign of true confidence. Delve into the political drama of Secret Hitler, a game that combines the paranoia of hidden roles with the intensity of a prize pot waiting to be claimed. As fellow players work together, the traitor mechanic adds a twist to the game’s objective, making every decision critical and every alliance suspect. Avalon Hill Betrayal Legacy

We can’t wait to recreate the TV series sensation at home”, says senior marketing and licensing director Emma Weber. “Identity Games is the mastermind team behind the brand The Escape Rooms: we thoroughly enjoy working with the team who continue to drive creativity and quality in everything they do.” 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 the hidden identity game The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31, you will relive John Carpenter’s sci-fi cult classic in a race to discover who among the team has been infected by this heinous lifeform. Play as one of twelve characters as you lead a series of investigations through the facility using supplies and equipment to clear the building. The tension mounts and paranoia ensues as you question who you can trust in the ultimate race to save humanity! There are multiple Haunt phases possible, so you never know what or who will be the one.

Feed The KrakenEach round, you choose your ninja role: a Spy or Mystic gains valuable information, but only an Assassin or Blind Assassin can cut down an opponent
Nemesis takes the top spot on the list of the best hidden role board games because it is an epic experience with the threat of secret hostile creatures at every turn. It keeps you constantly on the edge of your seat and cautiously moving forward. There is so much to this game but having hidden roles at the core is a big positive. 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!Quiet Night – play continues. Murder – the Traitor will secretly murder someone. Banishment – All players must discuss and vote out a player.

Among Us Police Precinct is a new game to hit the market this year. Player take on the role of cops trying to solve a murder, while also trying to keep the streets safe from crime.

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.
