Traitors Aboard is a secret identity party game that combines bluffing, strategy, and teamwork with the potential for betrayal. Designed for players aged 10 and up, it accommodates 3 to 8 participants, with gameplay lasting 20 to 30 minutes. The objective splits players into two roles: Pirates, who collaborate to fill a chest with gold, and Mutineers, who secretly sabotage the effort without being discovered. Success hinges on discussion, planning, and strategic execution to either complete the mission or deceive opponents.
The game features straightforward rules and a compact, travel-friendly format, making it accessible for families, teens, and adults. It has received industry recognition, including the TOY OF THE YEAR award and a DOUBLE 6 award nomination in France, with over 100,000 copies sold globally. The dynamic mix of deception and teamwork ensures engaging gameplay for group gatherings.
Things to Keep in MindHowever, several reviewers found the gameplay to be shallow and repetitive, lacking the strategic depth or intrigue of other social deduction games, which led to a less engaging experience and concerns about team balance. Why You'll Like ItMany players, particularly children and families, found this to be a fun and quick social deduction game, making it a good fit for gatherings or when traveling.
