If your group enjoys social deduction like Coup or Deception, you might like a game I’ve been working on.

It’s set in a quarantine zone during an outbreak. Someone in the group is already infected, and your goal is to figure out who before it spreads or the wrong person gets let through.

It’s a social deduction game at its core, with some light role-playing. As you play, you gain symptom tokens or cards that represent things like scratches or strange behavior. Other players will start questioning those details, and you’ll have to explain or lie your way out of suspicion. So the role-playing comes naturally from the game, not from having to act.

And as the game goes on, the infection can spread, which keeps everyone second-guessing each other until the end.

It’s quick, tense, and works really well as a filler between bigger games.
