The best games with Secret Unit Deployment 🪂 2023
Looking for a really good game with hidden units 🪂? Then we have just the thing for you: the list of the best covert units games 2023.
What are hidden units games?
Covert unit games are games that contain hidden information. Only the player who controls certain game pieces has perfect information about the nature (or even the whereabouts) of those pieces. This mechanic is often used in war games to simulate the "Fog of War" familiar from copmuter games.
There is a strongly related category "Hidden Drawing". In "hidden draw" (e.g. Scotland Yard) the difference is that the units cannot actively influence the opponent (e.g. destroy units).
"Secret Unit Deployment" is also called "covert units".
Examples of games with hidden unit deployment
A good example of a covert unit game is the submarine game Captain Sonar.
