The best games where you know nothing about the role of partners or opponents 2023
Looking for a really good game where you don't know anything about the role of partners or opponents? Then we have just the thing for you: the list of the best "roles with asymmetric information" games 2023.
What are games with roles with asymmetric information?
One or more players are secretly assigned roles at the beginning of the game. These roles are given different victory conditions and different starting information about the state of the game.
This is typically a subset of "Hidden Roles"/"Hidden Roles", with the difference that all players have incomplete information. In the Werewolf Series, on the other hand, all werewolves know the complete game state. In contrast, in Agent Undercover/Spyfall, most players know the location but not who the spy is, while the spy has the opposite information.
Examples of games where you don't know anything about the role of partners or opponents:
Besides the games already mentioned, Insider is a good example of a game with roles with asymmetric information.
