Deduction
Deduction Games:
• The Mechanism: Players use logic, process of elimination, and psychological reading to uncover hidden information, secret identities, or a hidden killer.
• Gameplay: The game hides a specific piece of information (like a hidden traitor in the group, or a specific combination of cards in an envelope). Players spend their turns asking targeted questions, analyzing voting patterns, or tracking physical clues on a notebook to solve the mystery before time runs out.
