Pros

  • Deception murder in Hong Kong and one night ultimate werewolf are two others I love.
  • Have been seeing this getting recommended for social deduction games.
  • I would recommend Just One, Codenames, Wavelength, Flip7, and Deception: Murder in Hong Kong
  • I would recommend Deception: Murder in Hong Kong, Decrypto, Just One, Sushi Go Party, and Wits and Wagers.
  • Deception in Hong Kong is the only social deduction game in my collection due to it. ... this rule actually helped me feel comfortable with speaking up.

Cons

  • I think Deception’s sweet spot is about 6-7 players. The times I have tried to play with more than this, it just becomes a logistics/visibility issue and players just have too much trouble seeing the evidence cards of other players acros...
  • I don't think Deception will be good at all if you remove all the social deduction part.
  • Deception is also quite good but I think it is slightly more group dependent. If your friends don't want to play along it can be a bit of bust since it is less rigid in terms of rule set and structure compared to Avalon.

I've run ONUW, Werewords, 2R&AB, Resistance & Deception as well as BotC with all sorts of players - new to board games, new to social deduction, etc.
