Social deduction is a genre of games where players must use reasoning and communication to uncover hidden roles or motives. Typically, players are assigned secret identities, with some working together and others trying to deceive the group. The goal is to identify the opponents or traitors before they achieve their objectives. These games often involve discussions, accusations, and strategic voting, creating an atmosphere of tension and intrigue. Popular examples include Werewolf, Mafia, and Among Us, where players must rely on social cues and logic to navigate the challenges presented by their peers.
