Coup

Product Review (submitted on September 21, 2015):

This is a great social deduction, bluffing, last man standing game that plays 2-6, but I would not recommend it for anything less than 4.

Each person will receive two role cards that only they will see. On your turn you can take an action based on your role cards or even one that you don't have. Can you convince your friends that you are the Duke? If your bluff is called, you will lose 1 of your role cards. If you were telling the truth and are challenged, the person who called you out loses a card. Players will be eliminated from the game once they have lost both their role cards.

This is a fun game to play with people who are new to gaming as well as experienced gamers. The rules are easy to teach, but I would play a "trial" game first so everyone understands that bluffing and lying are an intergral part of the game. After the first game everyone should get the flow of play . Over multiple plays, the strategies begin to come out. Who really is the assassin and who has the contessa??
