Among Cultists: A Social Deduction Thriller^*

Among Cultists is a social deduction thriller for 4 to 8 players aged 14 and up: investigators hunt hidden cultists before the dark ritual succeeds.

What is it about?

You belong to a secret society and want to save a university from a great evil. But traitors sit among you. The game blends classic traitor play with real board game elements.

The concept nods to the digital Among Us, but here at the table with figures and actions.

How it plays

1. Everyone secretly draws a role and a team at the start.
2. You move around the board and trigger events and encounters.
3. Investigators score points or vote out cultists, while cultists sabotage or kill.

Both sides have 10 rounds to reach their goal.

What it offers

• Hidden roles and team-based play
• Movement across a board, not just talk
• A Cthulhu mood and horror theme

Who is it for?

Among Cultists wants a larger group, ideally five to eight people. A game runs 45 to 90 minutes. If you enjoy bluffing and suspicion, this fits.

Conclusion

Fans of hidden roles get a richly themed experience. With a small group it loses much of its pull. For a lively game night with a crowd, an easy recommendation.
