Description

In the midst of a murder investigation, a shocking twist throws everything off balance - one of the investigators might be the killer. Deception: Undercover Allies brings new layers of complexity and excitement to the game, with special powers for both the investigators and the killer. With 4 to 14 players working together, communication is key, but beware - the rules are easy to learn, but mastering the game will take skill and strategy. The game's short playtime of 20 minutes or less means you can dive in and out of the action quickly, making it perfect for a party game or a quick gaming session. As an expansion to Deception: Murder in Hong Kong, Undercover Allies introduces new roles, means and clue cards, and scene tiles that add more depth to the game. The variable player powers and communication limits mean that no two games will be the same, keeping you on your toes as you try to solve the crime or pull off the perfect deception. With its unique blend of storytelling, deduction, and bluffing, Deception: Undercover Allies is a thrilling addition to the series, designed by Tobey Ho and first published in 2017. Get ready to navigate the complex web of alliances and deception, and find out who will come out on top.
