MAFIA (Social Deduction) Die Stadt schläft, die Mafia agiert im Verborgenen. Findet gemeinsam heraus, wer nachts zuschlägt, oder eliminiert als Mafiosi unbemerkt die Bürger. Mit geheimen Rollen, Tag-Diskussionen und Abstimmungen. 2. IMPOSTER (Wort- und Bluff-Spiel) Alle Mitspieler kennen den geheimen Begriff – bis auf den Imposter. Beschreibt das Wort geschickt, ohne zu viel zu verraten. Kann der Spion unerkannt bleiben oder entlarvt die Gruppe ihn rechtzeitig? 3. BLIND RANKING (Das Skala-Duell) Wie gut schätzt du Dinge und deine Freunde ein? Ordne blind vorgegebene Begriffe und Szenarien auf einer Skala von 1 bis 10 ein und vergleiche deine Platzierungen mit den anderen. 4. UNDERCOVER (Szenario-Deduktion) Jeder Spieler erhält eine Ausgangssituation – der Undercover jedoch ein leicht abweichendes Thema. Wählt eure Einstufung auf der Skala, begründet eure Entscheidung und deckt gemeinsam den Spion auf.
